Feelin' Low Down
I got a letter
That came to me by mail
My baby said she is coming on home
You know that I wanna be there
I'm feeling so good
Yeah I'm feeling so good
Yeah I feel so good lord
I feel just like balling the jack
Yeah I like my whiskey
Like my big bottle of gin
But when my baby said she's coming on home
I feel just like floating around a hill
Yeah I'm feeling so good
I'm feeling so good
Yeah I feel so good lord
I feel just like balling the jack
I got a letter
That came to me by mail
My baby said she is coming on home
You know that I wanna be there
I'm feeling so good
Yeah I'm feeling so good
Yeah I feel so good lord
I feel just like balling the jack
Yeah I like my whiskey
Like my big bottle of gin
But when my baby said she's coming on home
I feel just like floating around a hill
Yeah I'm feeling so good
I'm feeling so good
Yeah I feel so good lord
I feel just like balling the jack
Balling the Jack: Railroad slang that meant "going at full speed."
It was also the name of a popular dance in 1913, but later became a metaphor for lovemaking used by Big Bill Broonzy in a song during the 1940s. Also known as a slang term for gamblers that refers to risking everything on a single bet.
