I’m Gettin’ ’Long Alright

Lyrics

[Spoken intro] I'd like to do this song For all my lady friends in the house tonight I do most of my blues songs for the ladies Because we always have the blues, you see They're usually created by the men folk Especially on Friday, when the eagle flies And they don't wanna give up the money To pay them folks For them televisions, stereos and things When they get it on Friday, they wanna Put it in their pockets and walk around with it Makes them feel important And you know if you ask them about it They may talk to you real, real, real bad Lock you in the basement for a week Or even reminding him that he's got bills If you got a man that's, that's ignorant You may be able to make it, maybe Maybe, no guarantee, no guarantee at all 'Cause when you're ignorant that means Your understanding is naught But if you've got one that's ignant You can forget it because there is a difference I got a little song that I always sings because It keeps it in my finger that One monkey don't stop no show He may slow it down for a minute, for a minute Never ever stop it cause you see The show, it must go on [Intro] Ooh oo-ooh ooh Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh [Verse 1] Lord, I've got a cold, cold feeling Said it's like ice around my heart I've got a real cold feeling Lord, it's like ice around my heart, yeah I know I'm gonna quit somebody Every time this feeling starts [Verse 2] Cause I cried and I cried just like a baby When you when away last Friday night I said I cried, cried, cried, cried, cried like a baby When you walked out and left me here With all these bills last Friday night But look here, I done made me some connections Oh, yes I have and believe me I sure am getting along alright [Verse 3] Well, my iceman is a nice man Nice as he can be Cause he goes and collects his money And he brings it all to me Now my rent man, he done told me Little mama, don't worry about the rent You know, all I wanna do is AW-MMM a whole year And your rent won't cost a cent Now my meat man is a sweet man He brings me steaks everyday And he done told me not to worry Cause I don't never have to pay Now my woodman is a good man Because he loves to keep his mama warm And when his wood don't burn to soothe me You know, he takes me in his arms Now my coal man is a old man, that's you And he's almost 62 Lord, hey baby, let me tell you That that old man there sure knows He sure knows what to do Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord When you left me here last Friday night Well, I done made me some connections And believe me, I sure am getting along alright I said I'm really, really getting along alright Yeah yeah yeah
