Hookworm Blues
Hookworm in your body: And your food don't do you no
Good
Same way with a rounder: Come in a nice neighborhood
Dirty old hookworm: Got into my room
Causes me to walk: Groan and moan
Man like a hookworm: Got a hold to my baby
He got to *point it fast*: People and I don't mean maybe
Never can tell: What a hookworm man will do
Take your baby: And make her stop loving you
I'm going to leave my baby: And let her have her way
She want me back some day: When he throws her down
Mmm: Mmm
Her man like a hookworm: Taking a hold to my babe
