Some hotshots got money, gonna pull my bail

Soon as I get out, hit the ground

Your Southern can is worth a thousand, half a pound

CHORUS (Talkin' about it)

VERSE 4:

You might take it from the south, baby, hide it up north

Understand you can't rule me or be my boss

But when I get ya momma your can'll see no rest

John Lomax: "You keep movin' around like you're uncomfortable. What's the matter, Willie?"

Blind Willie McTell: "Well, I was in an automobile accident last night and I'm still shuck-up.

No one got hurt, but they was all, um, jostled up mighty bad. Shake-up. Still sore from it,

but no one got hurt."
