Composed by：Clarence Williams

Clarence I got a little secret I want to tell you

Hush your mouth Joe keep it shut

Everything I tell you boy is the truth

You better hush your mouth you'll get in Dutch

The treasure of our lives come up short

Man you ought to see the car he bought

Way down in Texas is where he got caught

Hush your mouth Joe you talk too much

Shut your mouth do I talk too much

Yes you better hush your mouth

Will I get in Dutch

You know that man is from the south

Hush shut my mouth

Folks say I'm knockin' all the time

Hush your mouth Joe you talk too much

Somebody in your flat is makin' moonshine

Now I know you better hush your mouth

You'll get in Dutch

That still ain't very far from me

I smell it cookin' constantly

Hush hush

They start to cookin' every morning 'bout three

Hush your mouth boy hush your mouth

Hush my mouth

Yes hush your mouth

Hush my mouth

You'll get in Dutch

Clarence you know you come from down south

Hush my mouth

There's some stealin' done in the store last night

Who was it

Hush your mouth

The thief and the police had a little fight

That's too bad hush your mouth

The dirty thief look like you but he got away

Now they been lookin' for him every day did he

I might tell where he's at if my gets paid

Hush your mouth did he ask about me

Hush my mouth

Yes you talk too much

Clarence you're stealing way down south

Hush my mouth

You'd better watch your step Clarence

You're doin' a little dirt

Who told you

Hush your mouth hush your mouth

If old man Jones catches you you're gonna get hurt

Keep your nose out my business boy you talk too much

I ain't tellin' nobody this but you

But how come his wife come up

With a new pair of shoes

All the fell on you

Hush your mouth you talk too much

You'll get me in Dutch

You know boy I'm from way down south

Hush your mouth you know the police is around

Sam didn't get paid

Who told you

Is he lookin' for me lookin' for me

Well I'm gonna take my chance on your life

'Cause he was looking' for you with a knife

And you know I don't wanna see you leave your wife

Hush your mouth you talk too much

You'd better hush your mouth

Do I talk too much

Yeah you'll hurt your mouth

Boy I'll get in Dutch

Way down south

My mouth
