It's not the Ricky Allen tune. I think the OP might have been referring to a time Cotton recorded on his first Alligator album.

"No Cuttin' Loose", aka "Ain't Gonna Be No Cuttin' Loose"-- From James Cotton's album "High Compression" released in 1984, rereleased on "The Alligator Records 20th Anniversary Collection" in 1991.
Here's the song:

1. Here are the words the way my grade 9 English teacher might have sung them:
[instrumental intro]
I ask to start all over
Can I change my mind
We got too much, I'd feel a fool
To leave it all behind
Because I'm crazy about you, baby
If you want to know the truth
Oh, you better put away those scissors, baby
Ain't going be no cutting loose
You're a cold hearted woman
I know you can be sweet
I'd rather be with you, baby
Than to be out in the street
Because I'm a fool for you, baby
If you want to know the truth
Oh, you better put away those scissors, baby
Ain't going be no cutting loose
[instrumental break]
My friends all laugh and joke
By the way I cop my plea
I'll do anything for you, baby
Come home to you on my knees
Because I'm crazy about you baby
If you want to know the truth
Oh, you better put away those scissors, baby
Ain't going to be no cutting loose
[instrumental outro]
2. Here are the lyrics the way James sings them:
[instrumental intro]
I aks to start all over
A-can I change my mind
We got too much, I'd feel a fool
To leave it all behind
'Cause I'm crazy 'bout you, baby
If you want ta know the truth
Oh you better put away those scissors, baby
Ain't gonna be no cuttin' a-loose
You's a cold hearted woman
I know you can be sweet
I'd rather be with you, baby
Than t'be out in the street
'Cause I'm a fool for you, baby
If you want ta know the truth
Oh you better put away those scissors, baby
Ain't gonna be no cuttin' a-loose
[instrumental break]
My friends all laugh and joke
By the way I cop my plea
I'll do anything for you, baby
Come home to you on my knees
'Cause I'm crazy 'bout you, baby
If you want ta know the truth
Oh you better put away those scissors, baby
Ain't gonna be no cuttin' a-loose
[instrumental outro]
Heart2Harp, if you learn this song, and record it, let us hear it. You are a good singer and player.
Cheers,
