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!'
