Lyrics Leadbelly - Bottle Up and Go

Bottle It Up And Go
Huddie Ledbetter
(Robert Brown)

You got to bottle it up and go
Well, you got to bottle it up and go
Yes, them high-powered women
Sure got to bottle it up and go

Well, mama killed a chicken
She thought it was a duck
She put him on the table
With his legs stickin' up

You got to bottle it up and go
Well, you got to bottle it up and go
Yes, them high-powered women
Sure got to bottle it up and go

Now, a nickel is a nickel
A dime is a dime
I need no girl
If she won't wind

You got to bottle it up and go
Well, you got to bottle it up and go
Yes, them high-powered women
Sure got to bottle it up and go

Now she may look old
Ninety years
She ain't too old
To make you shed tears

She's got to bottle it up and go
Well, she's got to bottle it up and go
Yes, them high-powered women
Sure got to bottle it up and go

Now I told my girl
A week before last
The gait she's comin'
Is just a little too fast

She's got to bottle it up and go
Well, she's got to bottle it up and go
Yes, them high-powered women
Sure got to bottle it up and go

Now look-a-here, babe
I steal out at night
Ain't none of your business
You don't do me right

You got to bottle it up and go
Well, she's got to bottle it up and go
Yes, them high-powered women
Sure got to bottle it up and go.
