Roosevelt Sykes - Put up or Shut Up lyrics

Put up or shut up Stay in a broke man's place, my my Yes, I said put up or shut up An stay in a broke man's place Well, ev'rytime you open yo mouth, man It's a disgrace to the human race Now, you runnin' round here, braggin' Talkin' bout yo' wealth But if you don't take it easy I'm gonna put you in bad health Now, put up or shut up An stay in a broke man's place Man, ev'rytime you open yo mouth It's a disgrace to the human race 'Whoa, but it is' 'Oh, yeah' 'Mercy, nothin' but the blues, man' (piano) 'Oh, yeah' 'Whoa yeah' You talk so much make people know you ain't go no money' 'People got money, don't do no lotta talkin, do they' 'Unless they givin' Now, you had an easy life And yo mama got you spoiled But my road been rough and rocky It makes me hard boiled So put up or shut up Stay in a broke man's place Ev'rytime you open yo mouth Disgrace to the human race Now, you walk into a joint Sometime at nine You ask the musician to play a lot of numbers And you won't give up a dime Put up or shut up Stay in a broke man's place Whoa, ev'rytime you open yo mouth It'a a disgrace to the human race (And then we could use yo space, too)
