Cement Blues Lyrics

On the day that I was born

My mama left me all alone

And as I lay in my crib

I was smaller than a chicken bone

And as I got a little older

I started causing trouble at school

I had a rock in my stomach

But all the kids thought I was cool

Why was I such a fool

Now cement's the only thing that I rule

And that rock in my stomach

I couldn't stop as it grew

I drank gallon after gallon

Like cement's the only taste I knew

I drank some when I woke up

I drank some 'fore I went to sleep

It became a constant problem

Cement pouring down my throat so sweet

Why was I such a fool

Now cement's the only thing that I rule

(Oh yeah)

(Alright)

(This one)

I walked up to the CEMENT truck

I poured and poured and poured and poured

And when the pouring had to stop

I asked the man for more and more
