Lyrics Nina Simone

Nina Simone

Gin House Blues

Stay away from me

'Cos I'm in my sin

Stay away from me everybody

'Cos I'm in my sin

If this joint is raided

Somebody give my gin

Don't try me nobody

'Cos you will never win

Mm, yeah, don't try me nobody

'Cos you will never win

I'll fight the army and navy

Somebody gives me my gin

When I'm feeling high

I don't have nothing to do

Oh, when I'm feeling high

I don't have nothing to do

Just fill me full of good liquor

I'll sure be nice to you

Any bootlegger show him

A pal of mine any old time

Any bootlegger show him

A pal of mine

'Cos a good bottle of gin

Will get it every time

Lord, I don't want no clothes

I don't even want no bed

To lay my head

I don't want no clothes

I don't event want no bed

To lay my head

I don't want no pork chops and green

Just give me gin instead

Oh, oh, stay away from me

'Cos I'm in my sin

Oh, oh, stay away from me yeah

Everybody 'cos I'm in my sin

If this joint is raided

Somebody give me my gin

Somebody give me my gin
