Poison Ivy (Original Mix)

Poison Ivy - Willie Mabon

Now cat don't touch that gal there please

You'll get wasted down to your knees

No I don't like to brag

I don't like to say what I do

But I'm like poison ivy

I'll break out all over you

Everyday when I shave wearing my house coat

Two men have to hold me or I'll cut my throat

I don't like to brag

I don't like to say what I do

But I'm like poison ivy

I'll break out all over you

Well I bought me a blade

One that I could afford

Too long to be a knife

And too short to be a sword

I don't like to brag

I don't like to say what I do

But I'm like poison ivy

I'll break out all over you

Last night some cat got smart with my niece

Now he wears a sign saying rest in peace

I don't like to brag

I don't like to say what I do

But I'm like poison ivy

I'll break out all over you

I don't claim to be bad

Don't claim to be strong

I just keep bad

People from doing me wrong

No I don't like to brag

I don't like to say what I do

But I'm like poison ivy

I'll break out all over you
