I said, kind mama, now let me be your kid
I might get lucky if I could
keep it hidden
Looked at me, she began to smile
Thought I'd use you for
my man awhile
But just don't let my,
my husband catch us here
Oh honey, just don't let my,
my husband catch us here
I went upstairs to get my leavin' trunk
I ain't had no whiskey,
the blues done made me sloppy drunk
I ain't had no whiskey,
the blues done made me
sloppy drunk
Hon ey, I ain't had no whiskey,
the blues done made me sloppy John
well now some says the D
some says the T
it's a slow consumption
at killing me by degrees
it's a slow consumption killing
me by
It's a slow consumption
and it's killin' me by degree
So now,
I said, kind mama,
now let me be your kid
I might get lucky if I could keep it hid
Well, she looked at me, she began to smile
Said I thought I'd use
you for my man a while
But just don't let my,
my husband catch us here
Honey, now just don't let my
husband catch us here
Well now, some says it is,
some says it is
It's the slow consumption
that's killin' me by degrees
It's the slow consumption,
killin' me by degrees
Honey, is this low consumption
killin' me by a degree?
Honey, is this low consumption
killin' me by a degree?
Try this thing.
Honey, it's the slow consumption
