Lyrics

Feel like a broke-down engine, ain't got no driving wheel
Feel like a broke-down engine, baby, I ain't got no driving wheel
You've been down lonesome, you know how a poor man feel
I've been shooting craps and gambling, Lordy, and I done got broke
I've been shooting craps and gambling
Lordy, Lordy, and I done got broke
I done pawned my best, Lord, and my best clothes is stoke
I said Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lordy, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lordy, Lordy, Lord, yeah, mmm
Feel like a broke-down engine, ain't got no drives at all
Feel like a broke-down engine, mama, I ain't got no drives at all
What makes me love my woman? Well, she can really do the Georgy Crawl
If you give me my baby, Lord, I won't worry you no more
If you give me my baby, Lord, I won't worry you no more
Don't have to put her in my house, Lord, I only deal her to my door
I said Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lordy, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lordy, Lordy, Lord, yeah
Feel like a broke-down engine, ain't got no whistles or bells
Feel like a broke-down engine, mama, I ain't got no whistles or bells
It takes a real hot mama to drive away
Papa's weeping spells, you know it does
Oh, can you hear your daddy rapping on your door?
Oh, don't you hear your daddy rapping on your door?
Now, can I snake a little and flat
And tap and toot my cross your floor?
I said Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lordy, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lordy, Lordy, Lord, yeah
