I'm a U.S. male, [Bbm] because I was born [Eb] in a Mississippi town [Ab] on a Sunday morning.
Now, Mississippi just happens to occupy a [Db] place in [Eb] the southeastern portion [Ab] of this here United States.
Now, that's a matter of [Db] fact, buddy, and you know it well, [Eb] so I just call myself the U [Ab].S. male.
That's M-A-L-E, son.
That's me.
Now, I said all [Bbm] that to say all this.
[Eb] I've been watching the way [Ab] you've been watching my mess.
For the last three [Db] weeks, you've been hot on her [Eb] trail, and you've kind of [Ab] settled this U.S. male.
You touch her [Bbm] once with your greasy [Eb] hands, I'm going to stretch your [Ab] neck like a long rubber band.
She's wearing a [Db] ring that I bought her on [Eb] sale.
That makes her the [Ab] property of this U.S. male.
[Db] You better not mess with the U.S. [Ab] male, my friend.

[Db] You know what's [Ab] good for yourself, [Db] son, you better find [Ab] somebody else, [Bbm] son.

Quit watching my woman, [Db] because that ain't wise.
[Eb] You ain't pulling no [Ab] wool over this boy's eyes.
I catch you around [Bbm] my woman, champ, [Eb] I'm going to leave your head about [Ab] the shape of a stamp.
Kind of flattened out, [Db] so you'll do well [Eb] to quit playing [Ab] games with this U.S. male.
