I got the blues
Cause my woman has gone
Ooh I got the blues
Cause my woman has left
She took all of my hard earned money yeah
She left with someone else
Listen
She wrecked my brand new car
She even pawned my diamond ring
Whooow she wrecked my brand new car
She pawned my diamond ring
She poured the salt out of the shaker
She didn't leave me with a doggone thing
Cold hearted woman! Mh! Well all right!
The blues can come to you
In any shape or form
It can come to you in the shape of a woman
Just like the one that left me alone
Now I got the blues
And I'm not ashamed to say
I been tryin' to shake them
Each and every day
I got the blues
Cause my woman has left
Well she took all of my money
The little girl left with someone else
I gotta find her
I got the blues
Cause my baby has left
Whoooh I got the blues
Cause my baby has left
She took all of my heard earned money
She left me for someone else
She wrecked my brand new car
She even pawned my diamond ring
Ooh she wrecked my brand new car
The girl even pawned my diamond ring
She poured the salt out of the shaker
Lord she didn't leave me with a doggone thing
Come on lucy let's find 'r, whow
Sho' is hot out here on this country road
Now the blues can come to you
In any shape or form
It can come to you in the shape of a woman
Just like the one that left me alone
Now I got the blues
And I'm not ashamed to say
Oh I been tryin' to shake them
Each and every day
I got the blues
Cause my woman has left
Oh she taken all of my woman
She left me for some
