That Woman Named Mary

That woman named mary, she going to stay out all night long
That woman named mary, she would go and stay out all night long
Well, you know, she wouldn't come back to the house
Until po'lightnin' and his blues was gone
Know you got another man, mary
That's why you treat me so unkind
I know you got another man, mary
That's why you treat me so unkind
You know the blues gonna dwell with you
I can't get these blues off of my mind
Have you made you bed hard, baby
Sleep in and call your bed ease
Have you made you bed hard, baby
Sleep in and call your bed ease
You know the blues is just a funny feeling
Yet people call it a mighty bad disease
