Allen Shaw — I Couldn't Help It lyrics

Lyrics

Well, I got up this mornin', feelin' bad, thinkin' about the times that I once
have had
God knows, I couldn’t help it, God knows, I couldn’t help it
God knows, I couldn’t help it, I mean, sure as you’re born
Well, it ain’t but the one thing that grieve my mind, all of these women,
ain’t nary one mine
God knows, I couldn’t help it, God knows, I couldn’t help it
God knows, I couldn’t help it, I mean, sure as you’re born
Well, I whups my woman with a single tree, you might-a heard her hollerin', «Don't you murder me!»
God knows, I couldn’t help it, God knows, I couldn’t help it
God knows, I couldn’t help it, I mean, sure as you’re born
Mama told me, papa told me, too, «Never let a woman make a fool of you.»
God knows, I couldn’t help it, God knows, I couldn’t help it
God knows, I couldn’t help it, I mean, sure as you’re born
Well, I woke up this mornin', feelin' blue, thinkin' about no other one but you
God knows, I couldn’t help it, God knows, I couldn’t help it
God knows, I couldn’t help it, I mean, sure as you’re born
Well, mama told me, papa, too, «The way you’ve got, there’s no need of runnin'
you.»
God knows, I couldn’t help it, God knows, I couldn’t help it
God knows, I couldn’t help it, I mean, sure as you’re born
