Trash Talkin'

Went down to Albert's Alley Pick up on me a Collins mix Went to the bar an' ordered me a drink Tried to relax myself Looked around and saw two soul sisters They were sippin' sodas And the other look caught their companions On the dance floor They were doin' the Collin's shuffle Pretty soon a cute little number Came and asked me to do the stomp polka I told her I couldn't do the stomp polka I could show her how to do the Sissy1 We were on the dance floor And I was doin' my thing After a while out of nowhere Up walks her boyfriend While she's standin' there doin' the shivers and shake He gave me a look that was very icy blue And believe me, he made me thaw out! I said to myself, "Albert, don't lose your cool" By that time I'd gotten hungry 'Cause I smelled someone cookin' catfish Oughta be something along, with some greens Told him definitely, I didn't want no leftovers! The cook took so long about fixin' my grub I had to go see what was takin' him so long He was back there jivin' I had to tell him to get it together He asked me, "Can't you wait?" Made me mad, I said, "No man, I ain't got time, I've got to keep on pushin', I got to make it down the soul road, Got to go, do some turnin' on" Don't want person, give me no dyin' food So I'm leavin' town, goin' home I've got homesick anyway I'm leavin' this place before I freeze Goin' home to defrost Ain't gonna have me lookin' like a snow cone I don't know, he's gettin' rough! --- Trash Talkin' - Albert Collins
