John Lee Hooker

Stuttering Blues

Yes I'm a stut-stut-stutterin' man

And I can't ta-ta-ta-talk worth a damn

And I can't ta-ta-ta-talk worth a damn

Sometimes I wanta cry cry

Sometimes I wanta die

Yes, my fr-fr-friends all laugh at me

And they don' don't even have a friendly

Yea-Yea-Yea-Yes my fr-friends all laugh at me

And they don't even have a friendly word

They say I'm the no no talkinest man that they have ever

heard

When I walk up the str-street I tip tip my hat to speak

I can't even say a thing and that's when I begin to sing:

I'm a stut-stut-stut-stutterin' man

And I can't talk worth a damn

Sometimes I wanta cry

Sometimes I wanta die

When Two str-strange men

Were stealin- jus-just the other night

Before I could tell the cop

Them cats had run clean outta sight

I'm a stut-stut-stutterin man

And I can't ta-ta-ta-talk worth a damn

But that is one thing I can say

And that is Muscatel Wine
