A version credited to Eddie Boyd and Willie Dixon (who else!) and called third degree has the words as follows (as sung by Clapton on his "From the Cradle" CD:

Got me accused of peeping, I can't see a thing
Got me   accused of petting, I can't even raise my hand

CHORUS: Bad luck, bad luck is killing me
Well I just can't stand no more of this third degree

Got me accused of murder, I ain't never harmed a man
Got me accused of forgery, I can't even sign my name
CHORUS

Got me accused of taxes,I ain't got a dime
Got me accused of children, and ain't nary one of them was mine

CHORUS


RtS
