(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.
