Does anyone have the full lyrics to Willie Dixon's "Heart Attack?"?

It was recorded by James Cotton on the LP "Pure Cotton" and contains the greatest blues line ever - "I can't love my baby until I get my mind on you"

    The only thing that I could find that even came close to matching your request was this song called "Heart Attack and Vine" by Tom Waits. I couldn't find lyrics for it either so just translated it myself (Strange song):

    Lie out loud pants on fire Five speeds hangin on the telephone wire

    A gamblers real value Went along the dotted line. Never recognize

    yourself On Heart Attack and Vine.

    Doctor lawyer beggerman thief villiage so remarkable lives on in his belief,

    If you wanna taste the madness your gonna have to wait in line,

    Probly see someone you know on heart attack and vine.

    porters house is shiny white short (Something) Punk

    But you know there ain't no devil thats just God when he's drunk.

    Well this stuff will opprobably kill you, lets do another line.

    What ya' say you meet me down at Heart Attack and Vine.

    See that little Jersey girl, a see through top

    Up in the back door pushin', suckin' on a soda pop

    Well I bet she's still a virgin but its only 25 'til nine

    two can see a million up on Heart attack and vine.

    Better off now, get your scrambled eggs,

    You're crawlin' like a winger on a broken pair of legs,

    You're find your ignorance is blissful every G*****n time,

    No (Somethin') or T. V. on heart attack and vine.

    porters house is shiny white short (Something) Punk

    But you know there ain't no devil thats just God when he's drunk.

    Well this stuff will opprobably kill you, lets do another line.

    What ya' say you meet me down at Heart Attack and Vine.

    But you know there ain't no devil thats just God when he's drunk.

    Well this stuff will probably kill you, lets do another line.

    What ya' say you meet me down at Heart Attack and Vine.

    Hope that'll do somethin' for ya'. Later!

    Sorry man, I know this isn't the song, but I tried my best!

    Remember when there was nothing else to do, but lie and bed and,

    Wonder how it was always up to you, and no one else and,

    Early mornings, made by warnings, whats the point of the alarm that Im ignoring?

    Its either raining, Im not complaining, but waking up is hard to do so,

    [chorus]

    Turn my head its back to bed with no delay, cant be bothered by the phone ten times a day,

    Why get up my morning doesnt even start till two?

    Forget reality waking up is hard to do.

    Remember when we would hang out every day, and we would rather,

    Not be told what to do or what to say, cause nothing mattered.

    Never boring with slept in mornings, not ashamed of bad habits that Im forming.

    Its not important if days are shortened, I cant make time when nothings new,

    Cause waking up is hard to do so,

    [chorus]

    Whats a day when it all ends up the same, and lasts forever?

    Cant complain when theres nothing there to blame, and things cant be better.

    Summer evenings, teenage grievings, got no problem with the life that Ive been leading.

    No concentration on hesitation, I cant make time when nothings new, cause waking up is hard to do so!
