"Deep Sea Diver" lyrics

Taj Mahal & Ry Cooder Lyrics

"Deep Sea Diver"

Yes, I'm a deep-sea diver
Well, I got a stroke and I can't go wrong
Looky here, woman, I'm a deep-sea diver
I got a stroke and I can't go wrong
You know I can dive to the bottom
'Cause my wind holds out so long

One more thing

You may take my woman
But you sure can't keep her long
You may take my woman for just a little while
But you sure can't keep her long
I'm gonna tell you why right now
Because I got her new way of loving
You monkey men just can't catch on

Play it a while, little brother Taj Montgomery
Bet that landlady better knock a juggler missed the head right, huh?
Give me, give me as much she wants to drink, I paid board
Yeah, I give no jar

Now if the house catch on fire
Ain't no water around
Landlady throw the jug out the window
Let the doggone shack go down

I'm a deep-sea diver
Yeah, I got a stroke and I can't go wrong
Mm - dive to the bottom and
My wind holds out so long
Yeah, it holds out a really long time

Yeah, I'll sing this song
To all you monkey men
No, I'm gonna sing this song
To all you monkey men
Look out, you [?]

You think you can take my woman
But that's when your trouble has just begin

Last time

I'm a deep-sea diver
I got a stroke and I can't go wrong
I'm a deep-sea diver
Got a stroke and I
I tell ya
I got a stroke
Oh, man
I got a stroke and I can't go wrong
Because I can dive to the bottom and
Look out
My wind holds out so long
So long
