Feelin' Low Down - Cuby & The Blizzards

I got a letter

That came to me by mail

My baby said she is coming on home

You know that I wanna be there

I’m feeling so good

Yeah I’m feeling so good

Yeah I feel so good lord

I feel just like balling the jack

Yeah I like my whiskey

Like my big bottle of gin

But when my baby said she’s coming on home

I feel just like floating around a hill

Yeah I’m feeling so good

I’m feeling so good

Yeah I feel so good lord

I feel just like balling the jack

Balling the Jack: Railroad slang that meant «going at full speed.»

It was also the name of a popular dance in 1913, but later became a metaphor

for lovemaking used by Big Bill Broonzy in a song during the 1940s.

Also known as a slang term for gamblers that refers to risking everything on a

single bet.
