Lyrics for Me And My Gin

Stay away from me 'cause I'm in my sin Stay away from me 'cause I'm in my sin If this place gets raided, it's me and my gin Don't try me nobody, oh, you will never win Don't try me nobody 'cause you will never win I'll fight the army, navy, just me and my gin Any bootlegger sure is a pal of mine Any bootlegger sure is a pal of mine 'Cause a good ol' bottle o' gin will get it all the time When I'm feeling high, ain't nothing I won't do When I'm feeling high, ain't nothing I won't do Get me full of liquor, and I'll sure be nice to you I don't want no pork, and I don't need no beer I don't want no pork, and I don't need no beer I don't want no porkchop, just give me gin instead
