Break 'em On Down

Big Joe Williams

Compositor: Big Joe Williams / Sonny Boy Williamson I

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
