And then go back to the verse Lyrics Verse: Mother said come home Father said come home Sister said come home So my friend said come home And I said Chorus: Let me be I'm allright Can't you see I'm just fine Little skinny okay I'm asleep anyway Verse: Then I heard the voice Said son you have a choice I then slapped my face Chorus: Let me be I'm okay I'm awake anyway It's too bright over here I can shift and I'll steer Little skinny okay I'm asleep anyway To jam this song the right way you gotta groove with it. It's a great swing blues song so have fun with it.
