Lyrics

Stay away from me 'Cos I'm in my sin Stay away from me everybody 'Cos I'm in my sin If this joint is raided Somebody give my gin Don't try me nobody 'Cos you will never win Mm, yeah, don't try me nobody 'Cos you will never win I'll fight the army and navy Somebody gives me my gin When I'm feeling high I don't have nothing to do Oh, when I'm feeling high I don't have nothing to do Just fill me full of good liquor I'll sure be nice to you Any bootlegger show him A pal of mine any old time Any bootlegger show him A pal of mine 'Cos a good bottle of gin Will get it every time Lord, I don't want no clothes I don't even want no bed To lay my head I don't want no clothes I don't event want no bed To lay my head I don't want no pork chops and green Just give me gin instead Oh, oh, stay away from me 'Cos I'm in my sin Oh, oh, stay away from me yeah Everybody 'cos I'm in my sin If this joint is raided Somebody give me my gin Somebody give me my gin
