Boys, I ain't doin' no good, this slow death is killin' me
Boys, I ain't doin' no good, this slow death is killin' me
And instead of me goin' down swingin', I'm just as blue as I can be
My mind in such a condition until I hardly know the days in the week
Lord, my mind in such a condition until I hardly know the days in the week
Baby, you give me plenty trouble, but someday you bound to slip

When I'm sleepin' deep down in my grave, don't let no high-priced flowers worry you
When I'm sleepin' deep down in my grave, don't let no high-priced flowers worry you
You can just step out in the area of the yard, and old jimpson weed or dogsbane, it will do
Now boys, you can be too sweet to your woman, and see won't she do you a dirty act
Now boys, you can be too sweet to your woman, and see won't she do you a dirty act
She'll forever keep you workin', workin' with your coffin on your back
