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
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
