A fly will stick to jelly and wood will stick to glue But a man won't stick to a woman no matter what she do The wrong way, I'm bound to sue ♪ That man o' mine is triflin' and he don't treat me right He's got another sweetie, he sees her late at night That is why I've got those desert blues ♪ I'm gonna travel to the desert, out in the western land ♪ I'm gonna hid my troubles in the burnin' sand Temptation, I can't refuse
For that man of mine, I'm bound to lose My mind is like a row boat out on a stormy sea He's with me right now, in the mornin', where will he be? ♪ No-oh, no-oh, no-oh, no, no, no No, no, no ♪ I'm so nervous, I'm thinkin' in my shoes I'm burnin' up, I've got those lonesome desert blues
