 (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.
