R.L Burnside / The Criminal Inside Of Me chords
Start Jamming...
Mom, Mom, I want some milk.
[G]
[G]
Yeah, back years ago in the month of June, when all those animals got together and had
that party down in the house of Brother Soon.
Now the little monkey, he was most enlightened.
He was a hot mother, of course he wasn't enlightened.
Well, late that night, he looked at his watch, and said, I got half past nine.
I know goddamn well it's party time.
He looked up over his nose, got that long 44, started walking down the street.
While he's walking down the street, he was walking slow.
He kicked the elephant's ass instead of allowing the road.
[F#]
[Gm]
Then he went on down to this building where they was having this party at.
And he made a loud knock on the door.
Said, you mammoth fuckers, in there drinking your goddamn tea.
You don't give me some of that shit, they're going to bring up the motherfucking party.
[G] Said, I got a ass-pack of the [Em] whiskey and [G#] a front-pack of the gin.
[Gm] I'm going to open this door, I'm going to kick [G] your motherfucking ass.
That's when the loud jumped up, you know.
Said, listen to that little squirt out there talking shit.
It couldn't mean a thing.
Trying to bullshit the public, you know damn well up the gang.
But he opened the door, and he opened it wide, and the little bad monkey stepped inside.
Said, all you motherfuckers, get off those steak toast and quit your clowning, because you know you're wrong.
So a queen of diamonds on the table and four diamonds in the floor.
And cut the lights out with his party folk.
By that time, one of them pimps had the light.
He jumped up on the counter and showed back his vest.
Said, every motherfucker in here is under arrest.
He the police, you know.
[D] [G]
He was the main man, you know.
[G] Wow!
Yeah!
Hey!
Wow!
Yeah!
Woo!
Well, well, well.
Yeah!
Hey, R.L.
Hey!
R.L. for a time.
Talk to me now.
R.L.
Huh?
R.L.,. listen, man. I'm a little short on money right now, and I'm wondering. R.L., you got 40 nickels. How many? I need 40 nickels for a bag of [F] potato chips. Come on, man. If you don't get out of my [G] face quick, I'm going to kick your ass, you son of a bitch. Ow! Yeah! Oh! Yeah! I tell you what. Come on, I need [A] 40 nickels. I'm not talking about the big bag of potato chips. I tell you what, if you don't get out of here and make it fast, I'm going to put my foot right in your ass. Ow! Hey! Ow! Yeah! Ow! Hey! Ow! Yeah!
