Settin' in the house with everything on my mind Settin' in the house with everything on my mind Lookin' at the clock and can't even tell the time Walkin' to my window, an' lookin' out of my door Walkin' to my window, an' lookin' out of my door Wishin' that my man would come home once more Can't eat, can't sleep, so weak I can't walk my floor Can't eat, can't sleep, so weak I can't walk my floor Feel like hollerin' murder, let the Police Squad get me once more They woke me before day with trouble on my mind They woke me before day with trouble on my mind Wringin' my hands and screamin', walkin' the floor hollerin' and cryin' Catch 'em, don't let them blues in here Catch 'em, don't let them blues in here They shakes me in my bed, can't set down in my chair Oh, the blues has got me on the go Oh, they've got me on the go They runs around my house, in and out of my front door
