lyrics

Went out last night to the crib-house down the street
Went out last night to the crib-house down the street
Went out last night to the crib-house down the street (O LORD!)
And my good gal stung me with the sweetest stingaree

Ran to the doctor, boy I ran down fast
Ran to the doctor, boy I ran down fast (O LORD)
He said: “There’s something wrong with your yas yas yas”

Oh we sure did have a time
How’d I know that gal o’ mine?
She’s good-lookin’, but it is disease (?)
Oh she done that little snake hip
But then she gave me the drip
Now the chills are overtakin’ me

(instrumental)

He took one look and I’ll tell you what he said
He took one look and I’ll tell you what he said
He took one look and I’ll tell you what he said (O LORD)
He said “You got a hot tamale from sleeping in that woman’s bed”

Now, some folks say that the crib-house drip ain’t bad
Well, some folks say that the crib-house drip ain’t bad (O Lord)
It must not have been the crib-house drip they had

Oh we sure did have a time
How’d I know that gal o’ mine?
She’s good-lookin’, but she’s got disease
Oh she done that little snake hip
But then she gave me the drip
Now the chills are overtakin’ me
