I go home at night about half past four
All that knocking on my door
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
Man don't you know, don't you know
I love these women, gonna treat them right
Ain't gonna fuss and ain't gonna fight
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
Man don't you know, don't you know
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
Man don't you know, don't you know
You beg me now baby and not before
I'm gonna come round and kick your door
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
Man don't you know, don't you know
I don't wanna fuss, I don't wanna fight
Ain't gonna do nothing but treat you right
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
Man don't you know, don't you know
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
Man don't you know, don't you know
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
Man don't you know, don't you know
