What make a rooster Honey, crow 'bout the break of day? To let the kidman know That the main man is on his way
I'm a stranger here Honey, just stopped in yo' town If I ask you for a favor Mama, please don't turn me down
(guitar & instrumental)
'Play it!'
She's a long, tall woman With the meat shakin' on her bone Ev'rytime she shakes Some skinny gal have lost her home
(harmonica & instrumental)
'Blow that thing Gillum, blow it!'
Get yo' ride from a pony Get yo' sweet milk from a cow Get yo' po'k chop from a boar hog Get yo' pigmeat from a sow
(guitar & instrumental)
'Play it out!'
(harmonica & instrumental to end)
'Yeah, man!'
