Knockin' Myself Out - Lil Green/Big Bill Broonzy
Listen girls and boys I got one stick
Give me a match and let me take a whiff quick
I'm gonna knock myself out I'm gonna kill myself
I'm gonna knock myself out gradually by degrees
I started blowing my gage and I was havin' my fun
I spied the police and I started to run
I was knocking myself out I was killing myself
I'm was knockin' myself out gradually by degrees
But the very moment I looked around
My mind said Yack throw that gage on the ground
The police captain he said he said Kill yourself
The police captain he said he said Kill yourself
He said Knock yourself out lio gradually by degrees
I used didn't blow gage drink nothin' of the kind
But my man quit me and that changed my mind
That's why I'm knockin' myself out
Yes I'm just killin' myself
I knock myself out gradually by degrees
I'm not blow this jive it's a sin and a shame
But it's the only thing to ease my hot ache pain
It's when I knock myself out Lord when I kill myself
I just knock myself make out gradually by degrees
