Well, I don't run no fillin' station

I don't sell no gas

I done brought my problem

My burners heat too fast



You got the bottle up and gone

You got the bottle up and gone

You know that high-powered mama

That your papa got your water on



Well now look-a-here, baby

What you been waitin' on?

Say ya didn't love me

I'd-a done been gone



You got the bottle up and gone

You got the bottle up and gone

You know that high-powered mama

You know that papa got you water on



Well, I had a little duck

An' I named him, Jim

I put him on the pond

Just to see him swim



You got the bottle up and gone

You got the bottle up and gone

You know that high-powered mama

You know that papa got your water on



(harmonica and guitar)



Well, ya want ev'rything

In the latest style

But I've got wise

Unto your line of jive



You got the bottle up and gone

You got the bottle up and gone

You know that high-powered mama

That your papa got your water on



Well, if you don't love me

Why don't you tell me so?

I know you don't love me

Baby, no mo'



You got the bottle up and gone

You got the bottle up and gone

You know that high-powered mama

You know that your papa got your water on



(harmonica and guitar)



I can't play no piano

But I wish I could

I got a woman

Don't mean me no good



You got the bottle up and gone

You got the bottle up and gone

You know that high-powered mama

You know that papa got your water on.
