Lyrics
Chorus:
I got the ten, I got the ten
I got the ten commandment Blues
I’m down and out and have no doubt
The reason is I have too many don’ts to worry about
I’d like to do a thing or two
But try and find some fun that ain’t taboo
Thou shalt not steal or kill, or covet
Thou shalt not (Mmm Hum)
But gosh, how I love it
That melody haunts me
I know yielding is sin
I got the ten, I got the ten
I got the ten commandment Blues
Performance
