I woke up this mo'nin
Feelin' bad
Thinkin' about the good times
I once have had
Lord, I just can't help it
Lord, I just can't help it
Lord, I just can't help it
Man, just sho' as you born
Now, there ain't but one thing
Grievin' my mind
All of these womens
An ain't none of 'em mine
Lord, I just can't help it
Lord, I just can't help it
Lord, I just can't help it
Man, just sho' as you born
(sax & instrumental)
Yas, yas
I hittin' my woman
With a single tree
You might-a heard her holl'in
'Daddy, don't murder me'
Lord, I just couldn't help it
Lord, I just couldn't help it
Lord, I just couldn't help it
Man, just as sho' as you born
Now, my mama told me
Papa told me, too
'These girls you lovin'
Gon' be the d**h of you'
Lord, I just couldn't help it
Lord, I just couldn't help it
Lord, I just couldn't help it
Man, just as sho' as you born
(piano & instrumental)
'Let's help it now, boy'
'Yas, yas'
I went home last night
Fell down 'cross my bed
I was in such a fix
Ev'rybody thought I was dead
Lord, I just couldn't help it
Lord, I just couldn't help it
Lord, I just couldn't help it
Man, just as sho' as you born.
