Trash Talkin' Lyrics - The Complete Imperial Recordings - Albert Collins

Went down to Albert's Alley 

Pick up on me a Collins mix 

Went to the bar an' ordered me a drink 

Tried to relax myself 

Looked around and saw two soul sisters 

They were sippin' sodas 

And the other look caught their companions 

On the dance floor 

They were doin' the Collin's shuffle 

Pretty soon a cute little number 

Came and asked me to do the stomp polka 

I told her I couldn't do the stomp polka 

I could show her how to do the Sissy1 

We were on the dance floor 

And I was doin' my thing 

After a while out of nowhere 

Up walks her boyfriend 

While she's standin' there doin' the shivers and shake 

He gave me a look that was very icy blue 

And believe me, he made me thaw out! 

I said to myself, "Albert, don't lose your cool" 

By that time I'd gotten hungry 

'Cause I smelled someone cookin' catfish 

Oughta be something along, with some greens 

Told him definitely, I didn't want no leftovers! 

The cook took so long about fixin' my grub 

I had to go see what was takin' him so long 

He was back there jivin' 

I had to tell him to get it together 

He asked me, "Can't you wait?" 

Made me mad, I said, "No man, I ain't got time, 

I've got to keep on pushin', 

I got to make it down the soul road, 

Got to go, do some turnin' on" 

Don't want person, give me no dyin' food 

So I'm leavin' town, goin' home 

I've got homesick anyway 

I'm leavin' this place before I freeze 

Goin' home to defrost 

Ain't gonna have me lookin' like a snow cone 

I don't know, he's gettin' rough!
