Me and My Gin - Original - Bessie Smith

«Stay away from me 'cause I’m in my sin.

Stay away from me 'cause I’m in my sin.

If this place gets raided, it’s just me and my gin.

Don’t try me nobody, oh, you will never win.

Don’t try me nobody 'cause you will never win.

I’ll fight the army, navy just me and my gin.

Any bootlegger sure is a pal of mine.

Any bootlegger sure is a pal of mine.

'Cause a good ol' bottle o' gin will get it all the time.

When I’m feeling high ain’t nothing I won’t do.

When I’m feeling high ain’t nothing I won’t do.

Get me full of liquor and I’ll sure be nice to you.

I don’t want no pork and I don’t need no beer.

I don’t want no pork and I don’t need no beer.

I don’t want no porkchop just give me gin instead.»
