Lyrics

Feel like a broke down engine, ain't got no drivin' wheel
 Feel like a broke down engine, Mama, ain't got no drivin' wheel
 You all been down and lonesome, you know how a poor man feels
 I been shooting craps and gambling, Mama, and I done got broke
 I been shooting craps and gambling, Honey, and I done got broke
 I done pawned my pistol, Mama, my best clothes been sold
 Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord,
 Lordy, Lordy, Lord
 I went down in my praying ground and fell on bended knees
 I went down in my praying ground and fell on bended knees
 I ain't crying for no religion, Lordy, give me back my good girl please
 If you give me back my baby, I won't worry you no more
 If you give me my baby, I won't worry you no more
 You anit got to put her in my house, Lordy, only lead her to my door
 Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord,
 Lordy, Lordy, Lord
 Don't you hear me, Baby, rappin' on your door?
 Don't you hear your daddy, rappin' on your door?
 Now you hear me tappin', tappin' across your floor
 Feel like a broke down engine, ain't got no drivers at all
 Feel like a broke down engine, Mama, ain't got no drive at all
 What makes me love my woman? She can really do the
 Georgia crawl
 Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord, Lord,
 Lordy, Lordy, Lord
 Feel like a broke down engine, ain't got no whistle or bell
 Feel like a broke down engine, ain't got no whistle or bell
 If you's a real hot mama, drive away daddy's weeping spell
 And I won't be back no more, Baby
