Big Joe Williams — Breakem On Down lyrics

Lyrics

Yes I’m a gambling man: still gambling yet
Don’t never get too rough boy: *one kill* won’t lay them
dead
Done got funny baby: funny as it can be If you raise any kids: they all got to look like me Take your sweet potato: *raise them at your home*
If you want a good woman: get you one that long and tall
Raised in the country: first in town
Your *good time*: all is mine
Breaking them down: all I crave
Breaking them down: might take me to my grave
Mama went to town: papa ain’t here
Take them down boys: because you know this stuff is here
