(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.
