Intro — Instrumental &harmonica

A-now-now, when you see a drunk man

It made-a you mad

When you get drunk

You look-a just as bad

You better cut that out

Yeah, you better cut that out

You better cut that out, boy

Befo’it be too, late

A-now-now, when you get high

You know now, you’ll get worse

When you get drunk

You throw a rock in a hearst

You better cut that out

Yeah, you better cut that out

Ya better cut that out, boy

Befo’it be too, late

(harmonica &instrumental)

I see you’re on your knees

You know you mistreat a friend

The next thing you know

You’ll been wonderin’where you been

You better cut that out

Yeah, you better cut that out

Ya better cut that out, boy

Befo’it be too, late

Ya went downtown

Ya say, you didn’t go to stay long

The next time I saw ya You’s in another man’s home

You better cut that out

Yeah, you better cut that out

Ya better cut that out, boy

Befo’it be too, late

(harmonica &instrumental)

Well now, when you get high

You don’t know what to do You say you get high

Because you feelin’blue

An you better cut that out

Yeah, you better cut that out
