When I got home I found my baby away
Yeah a lil piece of paper said she d gone out to play
I know the river s done gone dry
She s trapped another fly
I got nuthin to do, but a few more words to say
Chorus:
I got the mean woman blues
Lord knows i d lose
I just can t seem to get her off my mind
She s an all night rockin mother
Lord knows I love her
She s leavin me to ramble on up the line
When she moved in I kissed the blues goodbye
She lit my torch and left the furnace on high
Lord the money that I paid
For that livin , lovin , maid
Now she left me here
to grieve on and cry
Chorus x1
If you hear my song, you know just what I mean
Lord I think it s all just apart of the woman scheme
If you re buyin what she sells
She ll run you straight to hell
Captivate your mind and pick your truths so clean
Chorus x1
