| Work my body in the morning
|
| Work my body in the evening too
|
| Work my body until the blood runs on down
|
| Oh but don’t you leave me crying
|
| Lord knows I can’t keep from sighing no more
|
| Can’t you feel this fever keep on a burning
|
| Can’t you feel this fever trying to get on out
|
| Won’t you try to help me hold myself up Oh yeah but don’t you leave me crying
|
| Lord knows I can’t keep from sighing no more
|
| Don’t you leave me dying by the wayside
|
| Don’t you leave me lying all dried up, yeah
|
| Mr boss man said I’ve had me enough
|
| Oh I said I know that I’m dying
|
| Ain’t no sense you keep on asking for more
|
| Can’t you feel this fever keep on a burning
|
| Can’t you feel this fever trying to get on out
|
| Can’t you see I’m trying to hold myself up Oh but don’t you leave me crying
|
| Lord knows I can’t keep from sighing no more
|
| Mister boss man you’re just a letcher
|
| You better run or I’ll get you
|
| And I ain’t gonna fool around no more
|
| You better understand
|
| That I’m a better man
|
| And that with you I’ve got a heavy score
|
| What’s happened to all your plans
|
| Has someone the upper hand
|
| Or has someone just shut up your door |
