I looked in my usual places...looks like time to go back to pre-internet days, grab a pen, and use a quick finger on the pause button.

Here's my transcription from the YouTube video, but there are still 2 lines in verse 5 that I can't get:

BABY YOU GOTTA CHANGE YOUR MIND
Fulton Allen, Blind Boy Fuller

1. Baby, if you think I'm crazy 'bout you, you got to change your mind.
Baby, if you think I'm crazy 'bout you, you got to change your mind.
I woke up this morning 'bout half past four,
Somebody knockin' at my back door;
But if you think I'm crazy 'bout you, mama, you got to change your mind,
I mean, you got to change your mind.

2. Baby, if you think I'm crazy 'bout you, you got to change your mind.
Baby, if you think I'm crazy 'bout you, you got to change your mind.
What you doin', mama, you'll do it again:
Stay out at night till it's half past ten,
But if you think I'm crazy 'bout you, mama, you better change your mind,
I mean, you got to change your mind.
Play that thing, boy.

3. Baby, if you think I'm crazy 'bout you, you better change your mind.
Baby, if you think I'm crazy 'bout you, you better change your mind.
Up 'fore the judge, my eyes full o' tears,
For beatin' up my gal I got four-five years,
But if you think I'm crazy 'bout you, mama, you got to change your mind,
I mean, you got to change your mind.

4. [SCAT SINGING FOR FIRST 4 LINES.]
But if you think I'm crazy 'bout you, mama, you got to change your mind,
I mean, you got to change your mind.
Play that thing, boy.
Give it a long time.

5. Baby, if you think I'm crazy 'bout you, you got to change your mind.
Baby, if you think I'm crazy 'bout you, you got to change your mind.
My gal likes....
Can't....
Baby, if you think I'm crazy 'bout you, you got to change your mind,
I mean, you got to change your mind.

[For comparison, here's another video of this song performed by The Wiyos. They only sing verse 1 and a variant of it.]

GUEST has it right, except it's 'whiskey', not crystal.

'My gal likes whiskey like a Rye & Gin,
If she can't get whiskey gon' drink anything she can'
