Married Woman Blues

歌詞

Ever been mistreated, and you know how mistreated feel Like a broke-down engine, ain't got no driver wheel You can always tell when your brown want to throw you down She's always got business on the other side of town Well, I started once to write, but I b'lieve I'll go myself 'Cause a letter too slow, then a telegram may get left You can always tell when your woman wants to throw you down She's always got business on the other side of town She wake up soon every mornin', big white rag all around her head Every time you speak to her, she'll swear she's nearly dead You ever been down, then you know just howr I feel I feel like I ain't got no business here, somewhere on the sea It's mighty hard to be some married woman's man Can't see her when you want to, gotta catch her just when you can If you love a married woman, you're gonna always have the blues Every time you want to see her, her husband want to see her, too Says, now run here, run here, baby, set down on your daddy's knee 'Cause I done got drunk and I'm as blue as a poor man can be Say, well I went to the window and I looked down on the ground And my heart struck sorrow and the tears come easin' down
