Cryin', canned, canned heat, mama

Cryin', Dear Lord, killin' me

Cryin', canned heat, mama

Sho', Lord, killin' me

Take alcorub to

Take these canned heat blues

Cryin' mama, mama mama

Know canned heat killin' me

Cryin' mama, mama, mama

Cryin' canned heat is killin' me

Canned heat don't kill me

Cryin', babe I never would die

I woked up a-this mo'nin

With canned heat on my mind

Woke just this mo'nin'

Canned heat was on my mind

Woke up this mo'nin

With the canned heat, Lord

On my mind

Cried, Lord

Lord, I wonder

Canned heat, Lord, killing me

Think alcorub is

Tearing apart my soul

Because brown-skin woman

Don't do the easy roll

I woke up, a-this mo'nin'

Cryin', canned heat 'round my bed

Run in here, somebody

Take these canned heat blues

Run here, somebody

An take these canned heat blue-ooos.

Cryin', mama, mama, mama

Cryin', canned heat killin' me

Plead to my soul, Lord

They gon' kill me dead.
