I Just Can't Help It Lyrics - Washboard Sam

I woke up this mo'nin 

Feelin' bad 

Thinkin' about the good times 

I once have had 

Lord, I just can't help it 

Lord, I just can't help it 

Lord, I just can't help it 

Man, just sho' as you born 

Now, there ain't but one thing 

Grievin' my mind 

All of these womens 

An ain't none of 'em mine 

Lord, I just can't help it 

Lord, I just can't help it 

Lord, I just can't help it 

Man, just sho' as you born 

(sax & instrumental) 

Yas, yas 

I hittin' my woman 

With a single tree 

You might-a heard her holl'in 

'Daddy, don't murder me' 

Lord, I just couldn't help it 

Lord, I just couldn't help it 

Lord, I just couldn't help it 

Man, just as sho' as you born 

Now, my mama told me 

Papa told me, too 

'These girls you lovin' 

Gon' be the death of you' 

Lord, I just couldn't help it 

Lord, I just couldn't help it 

Lord, I just couldn't help it 

Man, just as sho' as you born 

(piano & instrumental) 

'Let's help it now, boy' 

'Yas, yas' 

I went home last night 

Fell down 'cross my bed 

I was in such a fix 

Ev'rybody thought I was dead 

Lord, I just couldn't help it 

Lord, I just couldn't help it 

Lord, I just couldn't help it 

Man, just as sho' as you born.
