Me And My Gin - Live At Newport Jazz Festival, 1958
Still with Bessie Smith
Stay away from me
'Cause I'm in my sin
Stay away from me
'Cause I'm in my sin
But if this joint is rated
Somebody bring me my gin
Don't mess with me nobody
'Cause you will never win
Don't mess with me nobody
'Cause you will never win
I'll fight the army and the navy
If you just bring me my gin
Any bootlegger
Just show him, a pall of mine
Any bootlegger
Just show him, a pall of mine
'Cause a good bottle of gin
Will get it anytime
Well, when I get high, yeah-yeah
And ain't got nothing to do
When I get high
And ain't got nothing to do
Just keep me full of good liquor
And I'll be nice to you
'Cause I don't want no clothes
And I don't even need no bed
To lay my head
I don't want no clothes
And I don't need no bed
To lay my head
I don't want no porkchops, Lord
Just give me gin instead
Stay away from me
'Cause I'm in my sin
Stay away from me
'Cause I'm in my sin
But if this joint is rated
Somebody bring me my gin
Don't mess with me nobody
'Cause you will never win
Don't mess with me nobody
'Cause you will never win
I'll fight the army and the navy
If you just bring me my gin
Any bootlegger
Just show him, a pall of mine
Any bootlegger
Just show him, a pall of mine
'Cause a good bottle of gin
Will get it anytime
Well, when I get high, yeah-yeah
And ain't got nothing to do
When I get high
And ain't got nothing to do
Just keep me full of good liquor
And I'll be nice to you
'Cause I don't want no clothes
And I don't even need no bed
To lay my head
I don't want no clothes
And I don't need no bed
To lay my head
I don't want no porkchops, Lord
Just give me gin instead
