Here's what I got from a couple of listens:


IF YOU LET A MAN KICK YOU ONCE
Corey Harris and Henry Butler

1.1 If you let a man kick you once, he'll kick you two-three times.
1.2 I met a man who wanted to kick me once, and had to change his mind.
1.3 They gonna grin in your face, swear on the Bible, too,
1.4 Turn right around and put a hex on you.
1.5 If you let a man kick you once, he'll kick you two-three times,
1.6 I mean, he'll kick you two-three times.

[Lines 1, 2, 5 and 6 are the same in each verse.]

2.3 Some use a razor, some use a gat,
2.4 But I ain't gonna let 'em knock me out like that.

3.3 I got eggs in my cupboard ... on my shelf.
3.4 I can't stand the man that can't check himself.

4.3 Now I generally drink no water, only whiskey or gin.
4.4 Try to ... kick your buck teeth in.

5.3 From the time you're born, till you ride in the hearse,
5.4 There's nothin' so bad that it couldn't 'a' been worse.

6.3 I got a nasty little pit bull, fuzzy little snout,
6.4 You try to kick my pit, he'll bite your butt cheeks out.


[Gat = from Gatling gun, slang for any kind of handgun.]
