Work my body in the morning Work my body in the evening too Work my body until the blood runs on down Oh but don't you leave me crying Lord knows I can't keep from sighing no more Can't you feel this fever keep on a burning Can't you feel this fever trying to get on out Won't you try to help me hold myself up Oh yeah but don't you leave me crying Lord knows I can't keep from sighing no more Don't you leave me dying by the wayside Don't you leave me lying all dried up, yeah Mr boss man said I've had me enough Oh I said I know that I'm dying Ain't no sense you keep on asking for more Can't you feel this fever keep on a burning Can't you feel this fever trying to get on out Can't you see I'm trying to hold myself up Oh but don't you leave me crying Lord knows I can't keep from sighing no more Mister boss man you're just a letcher You better run or I'll get you And I ain't gonna fool around no more You better understand That I'm a better man And that with you I've got a heavy score What's happened to all your plans Has someone the upper hand Or has someone just shut up your door
