Lyrics ...But I Was Cool! - Albert Collins
I
always
live
by
the,
golden
rule
Whatever
happens,
ha,
don't
blow
your
cool!
You
gotta
have
nerves
of
steel
And
never
show
folks
how
you,
honestly
feel
I
lived
all
my
life
this
way,
ha
For
example,
take
yesterday:
I
breeze
home
happy
bringin'
her
my
pay
Her
note
read
...so
long
savvy,
I
haven't
gone
away!
An'
I
threw
myself
down
across
our
empty
bed
An'
this
is
what
I
said:
Ooo
shhhhiiiii
ooow
ooow
ooow
What?
Oh
what
are
you
gonna
do
with
me?
Ooo
wow
uh
But
I
was
cool!
So
I
"one
for
the
roaded"
at
a
all
night
bar
I
wound
up
so
loaded,
I
tore
up
my
car
The
judge
threw
the
book
at
me,
An'
when
I
read,
the
sentence
there,
I
said:
"Oow!
Please
oooow
ooow,
please
I
got
to
know,
I
got
to
know
What?
what
went
wrong?
I
don't
underst...
I
oh
a,
But
I
was
cool!
So
I
said
she's
the
only
one,
that
I
have
to
pay
And
I
found
her
an'
pulled
my
gun,
an'
fired
point
blank
The
shot
whistled
right
past
that
woman's
head
An'
I
killed
my
hound
dog,
dead!
Oooooow,
ruff
ruff,
rrr,
rrr,
rrr,
rur,
rur,
rur
As
they
carried
me
away
I
was
overheard
to
say,
"Be
cool,
be
cool,
stay
cool,
be
cool!"
