[Verse 1]
A fat hog, frog in a bog
Knuckle bone and a hairless dog
Try to get away from a two-dollar cop
But a-wantin’ ain’t gettin’ and gettin’ ain’t got
And I’m gone
Have mercy, baby
[Verse 2]
A runaway mule, pig in a poke
TV screen and a bullfrog croak
Tryin’ to find a way to get a bottle of pop
But a-wantin’ ain’t gettin’ and gettin’ ain’t got
And I’m gone
Have mercy, baby
[Verse 3]
A horse’s ear, hoot and a holler
Midriff bulge and a righteous squalor
Tryin’ to find a place where nothing’s hot
But a-wantin’ ain’t gettin’ and gettin’ ain’t got
And I’m gone (Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)
Have mercy, baby
[Verse 4]
The cock's crow, hole in a wall
Man sayin’ God is a cannonball
Wanna find out so my head won't rot
But a-wantin’ ain’t gettin’ and gettin’ ain’t got
And I’m gone (Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)
Have mercy, baby
[Outro]
A-wantin’ ain’t gettin’ and gettin’ ain’t got
And I’m gone (Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)
Have mercy, baby
But wantin’ ain’t gettin’ and I still ain’t got
And I’m gone (Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)
Have mercy, baby
A-grabbin’ ain’t gettin’ and gettin’ ain’t got
And I’m gone (Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)
Have mercy, baby
