Hi folks. Having some trouble with a few lyrics for this song by Bob Coleman.

Cincinnati Underworld Woman

And it's Ahhh, I ain't gonna do it no more x2
The first time I's at your house, mama drove me from your door

And it's rattlesnake, honey what makes you talk(?) so long x2
I ain't had no lovin since my little rattler been gone

It takes a rockin chair to rock, mama rubber ball to roll x2
It takes a Cincinnati underworld woman to satisfy my soul

And it's Ahhh, I ain't gonna do it no more x2
The last time i's at your house, mama made my backbone sore

And I'm goin to the river take my boat and float(?) x2
And if my underworld mama_____________?????

And it's Ahhh, I ain't gonna do it no more x2
The last time I drank your whiskey, mama made my belly sore

Google the above and it will take you to p.43 where the lyrics can be found. You didn't miss much. (This is one of the first half dozen or so blues tunes I've liked lots. Thank you very much.)

CINCINNATI UNDERWORLD WOMAN
As recorded by Bob Coleman & Cincinnati Jug Band, 1929.

And it's oh, I ain't gonna do it no more. (2x)
The first time I's at your house, mama drove me from your door.

And it's rattlesnakes, honey, what makes you crawl so long. (2x)
I ain't had no lovin' since my little rattler been gone.

It takes a rocking chair to rock, mama, rubber ball to roll. (2x)
It takes a Cincinnati underworld woman to satisfy my soul.

And it's oh, I ain't gon' do it no more. (2x)
The last time I's at your house, mama made my backbone sore.

And I'm goin' to the river, take my boat and float. (2x)
And if my underworld mama quit me, I'm gonna cut my throat.

And it's oh, I ain't gon' do it no more. (2x)
The last time I drank your whiskey, mama made my belly sore.
