Alligator Ass Lyrics

I went down to Mississippi and I tried to beg a ride I saw Jesus and the devil they was walkin side by side I said whoa Mr. Devil is that really what I see He said I was thinking folks might try to judge me by my company

Well my boss gave me the wages So I went down to the market Before I bought some bread Somebody took it from my pocket

Now you see why I have a suspicious mind My momma done told me You gonna have to meet all kinds

I thought the preacher stole my Cadillac So I looked him in the eye I asked him for the truth and he told me a lie Well we settled in the middle now I'm too poor to die But I seem to keep on movin and i'm too proud to cry

But I keep on moving But I seem to keep on movin Well I seem to keep on movin and I'm too proud to cry
I met a little pretty and she told me that she loved me If I wanted things to go well I should try to meet her family I bought a diamond ring and I showed it to her mother she told me it was too small And the daughter had another man Another man

So you see why I have a suspicious mind Only way I know I'm ahead Is when they tell me I'm behind

Someone took me to a restaurant and I had to eat something fast I ordered me some chicken They gave me alligator ass

Now you see why I have a suspicious mind I keep on lookin But I can't seem to find Someone simply nice and kind
