(harmonica intro)





Well, I ack`d a sweet mama

Just to let me a-be her kid

She said, `I might get boogered, Sonny

An you couldn`t a-keep it hidden`



Well, looked at me an she a`gain to smile

She said, `Now, I thought I could use you for my a-man a while

Lord, if you just don`t let my, Herman catch ya `ere!

Now, an if ya just don`t let my, Herman catch you here`



Well, some said it was degrees

Some said it wadn`t, nothin` but disease

But whatev`r it is

A-slow achin`s killin` people, a-by-n degree



I know that this slow-achin` something

Murdering people by degrees

You know it`s a soberin` thought

Killin` you by degree



(harmonica & instrumental)



Well, I went upstairs

To pack my, a-leavin` trunk

An I ain`t never, a-drunk no whiskey

Know the blues made me a-sloppy drunk



But I ain`t never drunk no whiskey

But that old, blue-ooos made me drunk

I ain`t never drunk no whiskey

Blue-ooos that made me drunk



Well, I got somethin` to tell ya, baby

I want you to keep it, a-to yourself

I don`t want you even, a-tell Mr. So an So

He doesn`t wanna know nobody else



But I don`t want you to tell any, baby

Ple-eease tell nobody else

I don`t want you even warnin` yo` baby

Tell nobody else.
