A
I can't walk the streets now,
to convulate my mind
Some pretty mama,
she starts breaking down

Chorus:
              D7
Stop breaking down,
               A
stop breaking down
            E7
The stuff I got is gonna bust your brains out
D7                              A
Well, it'll make you lose your mind

You Saturday night women,
you love to ape and clown
You won't do nothing but tear a
good man's reputation down

Chorus

I gave my baby
the ninety-ninth degree
She jumped up to throw a pistol
down on me
