One night in Aberdeen there was a mighty fight
Some other broke his nose that night
You should've seen the bottles fly and the chairs breaking
But you should've seen the other guy
Give the big man some room
'Cause his papa don't take no mess
Make way for the big man
And take care how you address
Well I can't get no respect, no respect in this place
Can't get no respect in this place
Now he's down at the Parchman with Sonny and the boys
They say those walls sure hold some secrets
Well there used to be a jailer who could tell you some tales
But he ain't around here anymore
Give the big man some room, well
'Cause his papa don't take no mess
Make way for the big man
And take care what you confess
Ain't nobody got to know nothin'
Nobody got to know, mmm
Ain't nobody got to know nothin'
Down came the governor to see what the boys had done
He said, "Bring out the prisoners so we can have some fun"
Up stepped the big man with his guitar
Then the governor dropped his drink and said, "That man's going far"
He said, "Go home son and play the guitar"
So he signed himself a pardon and they lifted up the bar
Now it's goodbye to the farm and all the poor boys
Don't let me see your face again
Just keep out of trouble
Well you got to keep out of trouble, alright
Keep out of trouble
Keepin' out of trouble
Keepin' out of trouble
Keep out of trouble if you can
'Cause I'm keepin' out of trouble
Keep out of trouble if you can
Keep out of trouble if you can
ย
Keep out of trouble
ย
Well, well, well
ย
Gonna take you down mighty low
Mighty low
Hey, hey
Keepin' out of trouble
