Southern Can Is Mine (Remastered) Lyrics
Southern Can Is Mine (Remaster) - Blind Willie McTell
Written by:William Samuel McTear
Now looking here mama let me tell you this
If you wants to get crooked I'm gonna give you my fist
You might read from revelations back to geneses
But if you get crooked your southern can belongs to me
Ain't no need you bringing no jive to me
Cause your southern can is mine
Might go uptown have me arrested and have me put in jail
Some hotshot got money come and throw my bail
Soon as I get out hit the ground
Your southern can worth two dollar half a pound
Ain't no need of bringing no stuff to me
Cause your southern can is mine
You might take it from the south you might carry it up north
But understand you can't rule or either be my boss
Take it from the east hide it in the west
When I get it mama your can won't see no rest
Ain't no need of bringing no stuff to me
Cause your southern can is mine
In the morning
Your southern can belongs to me
I'm not dreaming
Your southern can belongs to me
Ah ashes to ashes mama and sin to sin
Every time I hit you you'll think I've got a dozen hands
Give you a punch through that barb wire fence
Every time I hit you you'll say I've got no sense
Ain't no need of bringing no stuff to me
Cause your southern can is mine
Every bit of it
Southern can belongs to me
Get me a brick out of my backyard
Give you the devil if you get kinda hard
Ain't no need of bringing no jive here honey
Cause your southern can is mine
You hear me crying
Southern can belongs to me
Spank it a little bit boy
Ah your southern can is mine
Now if I catch ya mama down in the heart of town
Take me a bran new brick and tear your can on down
Ain't no need you bringing no stuff to me
Because your southern can belongs to me
I'm talking to you
Your southern can belongs to me
You may be deathbed sick and mama and graveyard bound
I'll make your can moan like a hound
Ain't no need you bringing no stuff to me
Because your southern can is mine
You hear me talking
Southern can belongs to me
Oh spank it like that
The way Ruthie Mae likes it
Cause your southern can is mine
Sit there unsteady with your eyes all red
What I said get your grandma dead
Ain't no need of bringing no jive to me
Cause your southern can is mine
You got to stop your barking and raising the deuce
I'll grab you mama and turn every way but loose
Ain't no need of bringing no jive here honey
Cause your southern can belongs to me
Every bit of it
Southern can belongs to me
Aww whup it boy that's the way the people like that thing
Ain't no need of bringing no jive here honey
Cause your southern can is mine
You hear me talking
Your southern can belongs to me
Might twiddle like a tadpole
Let it jump like a frog
Every time I hit it you'll holler
God oh holler
Ain't no need of bringing no jive here honey
Cause your southern can is mine
You hear me talking
Southern can belongs to me
Now play it a little bit just whup it
Aww shucks play that thing boy
Southern can belongs to me
