    Now, I am a G man
    Knockin' on yo' door
    Now, I am a G man
    Knockin' on yo' door
    Now you done got yourself in trouble
    An now you got to go

    Lady, please don't kill nobody
    Go ahead an have your way
    Lady, please don't kill nobody
    Go ahead an have your way
    But the day you kill somebody
    I'll lock you up that day

    Please lady, please lady
    Please treat ev'rybody right
    Please lady, please lady
    Please treat ev'rybody right
    Please don't be no murder'er
    Please take my advise

    'Play that thing, boy'
    'Play it'

    (guitar)

    Now I been wantin' to be a G man
    Baby, all my life
    I've been longin' to be a G man
    Baby, all my life
    Because my poor mother was murdered
    My brother an my wife.
