My baby done chained, well, she done chained the lock on the door
My baby done chained, well, she done chained the lock on the door
Well, she said: "That key you got, Sonny, woo-oh, won't fit this old lock no more"
I went home last night by half past 10, I tried to get the key in the lock, people,
and I couldn't get it in
'Cause the woman done chained, well, she done chained the lock on the door
Well, she said: "That little rusty key you got, Sonny, oh, won't fit this old lock no more"
I wanna let you all know people, I couldn't get in my house,
'cause I had did wrong or something, you know, she told me
I have been wrong, she locked me out
Well, I's out, out there in the dark at night,
over a friend of mine come up to the door after he says,
"Sonny, what you doin' out here man?"
I says: "Man, I can't get in my house"
He says: "What you mean, you can't get in your own house?"
I said: "Man, the old lady chained the lock on the door"
He say: "It's too bad for you buddy"
I say: "Man, you can't tell me nothin' make me feel good?"
He say: "Oh, no, man, I can't tell you nothin' make you feel good,
I say, go ahead tell me one them bad on that man"
And this what the fool said, he said:
"Go around, man, and peep in that window and see who else she got in there"
You know I went around there and I did that too
I walked around to my window to see her, I could see
She hugged and kissed another big ol' man and I know he warn't me
'Cause she done chained, well, she done chained the lock on the door,
Well, she said: "That key you got, Terry, whoo-oh, won't fit this ol' lock no more"
I'm gonna play it a little now
I called the woman up, "Honey, what you want Sonny Terry to bring?"
You know, she whispered low and evil: "Don't bring a doggone thing,
'Cause I done chained, oh, I done chained the lock on the door"
Well, she said: "That key you got, butthead, oh, won't fit this old lock no more"
Yea, yes, yes, "Won't fit this old lock, lock no more"
Woo, oh, woo, oh, yeah
