lyrics

COTTONMOUTH BLUES

You're a tall drink of water
Laced with gasoline
When I drink you in
It burns like sin
And I can find no remedy

Thought I had myself together
All clever words and high-heeled shoes
But when you walk by
My mouth goes dry
You're givin' me the cottonmouth blues

No water, wine or whiskey
Can put me out my misery
I don't know what to do
'Round a man like you
Ain't no cure for these cottonmouth blues

Your love struck like a viper
And it got a hold of me
There's a witchcraft in your lips
And I'm helpless to resist
The agony and ecstasy

Have mercy on me honey
'Cause you know I'm bound to lose
Tell me what can I take
To help me shake
What's givin' me the cottonmouth blues

No water, wine or whiskey
Can put me out my misery
I don't know what to do
'Round a man like you
Ain't no cure for these cottonmouth blues

I don't know what to do
'Round a man like you
Ain't no cure for these cottonmouth blues
Ain't no cure for these cottonmouth blues
