Hard time, hard time
"˜bout to drive me wild
Take a big black woman
Break her down to my boogyin' side
[chorus]
I keep on a drinkin'
Try to drive my blues away
Say the sun's goin"˜to shine
In my backdoor someday
Said I wouldn't keep on at drinkin'
If I could have my boogyin' self
Wouldn't be lovin' you
If I could love someone else
[chorus]
Play that thing boy
Said I ain't gonna tell nobody
I ain't gonna drink no more
I don't feel welcome no place I go
[chorus]
Said I may be crazy but I
Ain't nobody's fool
For I take your dog and I kick back
A boogyin' Georgian mule
[chorus]
