[Verse 1]
Crying, canned heat, canned heat, mama, crying, sure, Lord, killing me
Crying, canned heat, mama, sure, Lord killing me
Takes alcorub to take these canned heat blues

[Verse 2]
Crying, Mama, Mama, Mama, you know, canned heat, killing me
Crying, Mama, Mama, Mama, crying, canned heat is killing me
Canned heat don't kill me, crying, babe, i'll never die

[Verse 3]
I woke up a-this mo'nin with canned heat on my mind
Just woke up this mo'nin canned heat was on my mind
Woke up this mo'nin with the canned heat, Lord, on my mind

[Verse 4]
Cried, Lord, Lord, I wonder, canned heat, Lord, killing me
Think alcorub is tearing apart my soul
Because brown-skin woman don't do the easy roll

[Verse 5]
I woke up a this mo'nin, crying, canned heat round my bed
Run in here, somebody, take these canned heat blues
Run here, somebody, and take these canned heat blues

[Verse 6]
Crying, Mama, Mama, Mama
Crying, canned heat, killing me
Plead to my soul, Lord, they gon' kill me dead
