Jungle Man Blues

Ain't nothing in the jungle
That's any better than me
There ain't nothing in the jungle
That's any better than me
I'm the baddest man ever came from Tennessee

I slept with a panther
Until just about the break of day
I slept with a panther
Until just about the break of day
I grabbed a wildcat in a collar
An' asked a tiger what he had to say

I wear scorpions for my watch strap
Rattlesnakes for my chain
Wear a scorpion for my watch strap
Rattlesnake for my chain
I scare the gorilla
And make him change his big ugly name

I make a sea thief catch a freight train
Make a flea grab the mail
I make a sea thief catch a freight train
I make a flea grab the mail
I make a jumbo elephant
Grab an aeroplane and sail

I was paddling in a rowboat
Drifting out in the sea
I was paddling in a rowboat
Drifting out in the sea
I made a sea lion cooey
Come back and shake glad hands with me

Way down in the forest
That's where I long to be
Way down on the forest
That's where I long to be
'Cause ain't nothing in the jungle
That's any better than me
