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
Well, ya better cut that out, boy
Befo' it be too, late

(harmonica & instrumental to end)
