Lyrics Feelin' Low Down - Cuby & The Blizzards

Feelin' Low Down

I got a letter
That came to me by mail
My baby said she is coming on home
You know that I wanna be there
I’m feeling so good
Yeah I’m feeling so good
Yeah I feel so good lord
I feel just like balling the jack
Yeah I like my whiskey
Like my big bottle of gin
But when my baby said she’s coming on home
I feel just like floating around a hill
Yeah I’m feeling so good
I’m feeling so good
Yeah I feel so good lord
I feel just like balling the jack
I got a letter
That came to me by mail
My baby said she is coming on home
You know that I wanna be there
I’m feeling so good
Yeah I’m feeling so good
Yeah I feel so good lord
I feel just like balling the jack
Yeah I like my whiskey
Like my big bottle of gin
But when my baby said she’s coming on home
I feel just like floating around a hill
Yeah I’m feeling so good
I’m feeling so good
Yeah I feel so good lord
I feel just like balling the jack
Balling the Jack: Railroad slang that meant «going at full speed.»
It was also the name of a popular dance in 1913, but later became a metaphor
for lovemaking used by Big Bill Broonzy in a song during the 1940s.
Also known as a slang term for gamblers that refers to risking everything on a
single bet.
