There are several copies of this recording on YouTube. Here's my transcription of the lyrics. The various phrases are spaced out with long musical interludes between them.
IT'S BAD YOU KNOW
As recorded by R. L. Burnside
It's bad, you know. (2x)
She asked me why; I just went on 'n' told 'er. (4x)
The engine[er] blowed [the] whistle; the fireman he rang his bell. (4x)
It's bad, you know.
She asked me why; I just went on 'n' told 'er. (3x)
It's bad, you know. (2x)
