Folks, you want to know what makes a man blue? To have a woman that's not true I mean one that you can not trust Tries to make a fool of you No, no, nobody knows No, no, nobody knows Woman changes her mind, which-a-way it's going to go Last night, had my baby on my knee Last night, had my baby on my knee Woke up this mornin', she done slipped away from me I'd rather be dead, laid in my lonesome grave I'd rather be dead, laid in my lonesome grave Have a monkey-woman, takin' me to be her slave If I could holler, just like a mountain lion 'F I could holler, just like a mountain lion I would holler so loud, ask the sun not to shine
