Get Off My Toe Songtext
von Lightnin’ Hopkins

Get off my toe, get off my toe, man
I said get off my toe
What′s the matter with you?
You can't see where you′re going?
You must be drunk or something
Just standin' all over me like that
I got drunk last night
And I didn't know the way back home
I got drunk last night
And I didn′t know the way back home
You know I wanna do right
When my whiskey kept a-leadin′ me wrong
Don't get on my toe, man
What′s the matter with you?
I told you to get back
I'm tryin′ to play this song
Yeah, when a man gets drunk
No, he don't know what he′s doin'
Yes, when a man gets drunk
You know he don't know what he′s doin′


Yes, he's just like buttermilk
When he′s been churned in a churn
Whole lot we got to learn
Move back
I told you to get off my toe, fella
Now you standin' right now
Stand over there, now don′t come back up here
Wonder what make a man get drunk?
Oh Lord, it's one o′clock hour night
Wonder what make a man get drunk?
Boy, it's that one o'clock hour night
Yeah, you know the policeman′s ridin′
Pick him up 'cause he said that ain′t right
Yeah, yeah
You know I ain't gonna get drunk no more soon
But I did accidentally got drunk this evenin′ in the afternoon
Yeah, and Mama told me
Son, you gettin' drunk too many days
But I couldn′t hear it
I just drank my stuff and get drunk if I wanna
Yeah, and Mama told me
Son, you're gettin' drunk too many days
I said Mama, don′t be, I′ll be satisfied
'Til the policeman take me away
You know I just felt good
Play that, my son
See, it′s kinda hard when you get drunk
And can't hardly tell what you′re doin'
And whenever you come out like buttermilk
When you come out that churn
Lord have mercy
That′s a story that I'm gonna tell you
And that's something that you better learn
You know I went to church last night
And they called on poor Lightnin′ to preach
Yeah, I went to church last night
And they called on poor Lightnin′ to preach
I said I ain't got time, Galveston beach is open now
I′m goin' down on to Galveston beach
Lord have mercy
