Mother-In-Law Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It was early in the mornin', I heard a rooster crow for days
It was early in the mornin', I heard a rooster crow for days
I looked out my window and saw my baby walk away
I thought "Lord, please stop him, ain't gonna get drunk no more"
I thought "Lord, please stop him, ain't gonna get drunk no more"
I hollered out my window, "Come back baby please don't go"
I know he heard me callin', he looked back and waved his hand
I know he heard me callin', he looked back and waved his hand
I could hear him tell his momma, "That's one no good woman!"
Well, I watched my baby leave, his momma had him by the hand
Well, I watched my baby leave, his momma had him by the hand
I'd give anything I have, just to see my man again
