Willie Mabon - Poison Ivy lyrics

Now cat, don't touch that gal there please You'll get wasted, down to your knees Now I don't like to brag I don't like to say what I do But I'm like poison ivy I'll break out all over you Everyday when I shave, wearin' my house coat Two men have to hold me or I'll cut my throat Well I bought me a blade, one that I could afford Too long to be a knife, and too short to be a sword Last night some cat got smart with my niece Now he wears a sign sayin' "rest in peace" Now I don't claim to be bad, don't claim to be strong I just like to keep bad people from doing me wrong
