Lyrics

Stay away from me
'Cause I'm in my sin
Stay away from me everybody
'Cause I'm in my sin
If this joint is raided
Somebody get me my gin

Don't try me nobody
'Cause you will never win
Don't try me nobody
'Cause you will never win
I'll fight the army and navy
Somebody give me my gin

When I'm feeling high
I don't have nothin' to do
Oh when I'm feeling high
I don't have nothin' to do
Just fill me full of good liquor
I'll sure be nice to you

Any bootlegger
Show him a pal of mine any old time
Any bootlegger
Show him a pal of mine
'Cause a good bottle of gin
Will get it everytime

Lord I don't want no clothes
I don't even want no bed to lay my head
I don't want no clothes
I don't even want no bed to lay my head
I don't want no pork chops and greens
Just give me gin instead

Oh stay away from me
'Cause I'm in my sin
Oh stay away from me everybody
'Cause I'm in my sin
If this joint is raided
Somebody get me my gin
Somebody get me my gin
