Вариант 1 (звучит на альбоме 'Bloodline')

Get your nightcap*, mama and your gown
Little before day
We gonna shake 'em on down
Must I holler**
Ah, must I shake 'em on down

I done stop hollerin
I done stop hollerin
Must I shake 'em on down
Baby got somethin'
I don't know what it is
Made me drunker than a whiskey still***

'Done stop hollerin
Ah, must I shake 'em on down
I done stop hollerin, ooh, must I holler
Ah, must I shake 'em on down

Late last night baby
I come knocked on your door
I heard him
When he told you to tell me
You didn't want me no more

Done stop hollerin
Ah, must I shake 'em on down
I done stop hollerin
I done stop hollerin
Must I shake 'em on down

Take off your nightshirt mama
And your gown
Maybe 'fore day
We're gonna shake 'em on down
Bukka's stopped hollerin
Oh, must I shake 'em on down
I done stopped hollerin' mama
Must I shake 'em on down

Too much of jelly to be throwed away
Save this jelly for some old rainy day
Bukka's stopped hollerin
Oh, must I shake 'em on down
I done stopped hollerin' mama
Must I shake 'em on down

Fix my supper and let me go to bed
This white lightnin
Вone gone to my head
Must I holler
Oh, must I shake 'em on down
I done stopped hollerin mama
Must I shake 'em on down

I ain't been in Georgia but I've been told
Georgia women got the best jellyroll
Bukka's stopped hollerin
Oh, must I shake 'em on down
I done stopped hollerin mama
Must I shake 'em on down

See, see, mama what you gone done
Made me love you
Now your man done come
Bukka's stopped hollerin
Oh, must I shake 'em on down
I done stopped hollerin' mama
Must I shake 'em on down

Baby got somethin
I don't know what it is
Made me drunker than a whiskey still

Bukka's stopped hollerin
Oh, must I shake 'em on down
I done stopped hollerin mama
Must I shake 'em on down
