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 doors
