(Spoken Intro by Louisiana Red) You know what, I hate the goddam blues, man You know what, and here I want to play The blues and I ain't got no goddan string On here, man I hat the blues, man I just hate it, man (Piano intro and then sung) You said you was hurtin' Said you almost lost your mind Well, the man you love He hurts you all the time When things go wrong Go wrong with you It hurts me too You love him more When you should love him less Why lick up behind him And take his mess You love another man I love only you But you follow behind him Stick to him like glue He's going to leave you You better put him down No I don't stand To see you being pushed around (Whittaker)
