Lyrics for I'm Mad Again

I had a friend one time, at least I thought I did Taken that man in my house, give him my food Over my table, that I couldn't afford He come to me, he said "Johnny, ain't got no place to stay" I said, "Yes, man, come to my house" I'll get you a place to stay, and a bed to sleep in That I couldn't afford When I found out, you with my wife Now I'm mad, a burden, like Al Capone When I warned you one time Next time I warn you I'm gonna use my gun on you 'Cause I'm mad with ya, ha-ha-ha I'm mad with ya, like Al Capone Look, man, I told you one time before But this time, I'm gonna teach you A little lesson, you won't forget Take this man, right down by, the riverside I might drown you I might shoot ya I don't know Gonna tie your hand, then tie your feet And gag you so you can't talk to nobody I'm mad (ghrr), I'm mad with you You're sinkin', I'm mad
