How Long Can a Fool Go Wrong - Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter, James Cotton

How long can a bell ring?

Just as long as it knows its tone

Just as long as it knows its tone

I’m here to tell you that’s how long

That a fool can go wrong

How long can a bird sing?

Just as long as it knows its song

(spoken): You gotta know your song

How long can a bird sing?

Just as long as it knows its song

See I’m here to tell you that’s how long

That a fool can go wrong

I learned my lessons from people

You know in all walks of life

You know in all walks of life

I know if a person mistreats you once they’re

Bound to misuse you twice

(That's why I said) how long can a bell ring?

Just as long as it knows its song

Just as long as it knows its song

I’m here to tell you that’s how long
