Clapton, Eric - Third Degree Lyrics

that'z a unequivocal...Yez from me...rite now...no frkin justice...until much later....je je

I have been reading "The Land Where the Blues Began", Alan Lomax and have discovered the genius of the lyrics. The book can be found in the library of congress if nowhere else if you are interested in reading it. Amazing book!

Got me accused of peeping,
I can't see a thing.
Got me accused of petting,
I can't even raise my hand.

Bad luck,
Bad luck is killing me.
Well I just can't stand no more of this third degree.

Got me accused of murder,
I ain't harmed a man.
Got me accused of forgery,
I can't even write my name.

Bad luck,
Bad luck is killing me.
Well I just can't stand no more of this third degree.

Got me accused of taxes,
I ain't got a dime.
Got me accused of children
And ain't nary one of them was mine.

Bad luck,
Bad luck is killing me.
Well I just can't stand no more of this third degree.

As they say in Chicago, "He ain't bad, for a white boy."

Yes and you might be not bad for a black guy👍😁

Ouvindo sempre com atenção cada faixa deste Album e vendo que ele é muito especial , más para sentir isso é preciso de muita calma e o momento certo , Salve Eric Clapton

Wood shampoo is incapable of emotion.

Got me accused of peeping,
I can't see a thing.
Got me accused of petting,
I can't even raise my hand.

[Chorus:]
Bad luck,
Bad luck is killing me.
Well I just can't stand no more of this third degree.

Got me accused of murder,
I ain't harmed a man.
Got me accused of forgery,
I can't even write my name.

[Chorus]

Got me accused of taxes,
I ain't got a dime.
Got me accused of children
And ain't nary one of them was mine.

BEST SONG

Lyrics by Pete Townshend

a beauty-

EC's vocal often times got ignored as his guitar is too outstanding! :) He has got the natural blues\rock voice!

This music is Eddie Boyd not Clapton !!!!!

mais l’interprétation est très belle surtout le solo

Who the FU*K is Eddie Boyd ? EXACTLY. More importantly...who CARES ! THIS is Eric Clapton !

no dumbfuck, it's clapton. Most blues tunes are covers

Clapton is God! so cool those sweet N` slow notes 

Bellissimo video....

cheers...Wally

Soooo smooootttthhhh...& soothing...

Bad luck is killin me. :(

This is a cover of pianist Eddie Boyd with lyrics by the great Willie Dixon. This album, From the Cradle, is a tribute album to a lot of the Blues greats so none of the songs were written by Clapton.

Yes, they are ALL covers !

Oh my god, did I sleep walk, log into someone's account, listen to this song, and then write this comment? Because I swear this is exactly my situation while listening to this song hahaha.

I've remember hearing this when my good old man would play it all the time as a very young child. Possibly some of my youngest memories, I'm 19, a 90's kid and fuckin proud of that era

this my friend..... IS the shit

i love the sound !

GREAT... thanks for sharing

best song on the album
