When you wake up in the mornin' and you're sick your head to toe
No need to get a doctor cause the doc he won't know
How to take away the hurtin' that's been a tossin' you around
You say the blues ain't nothin' but a woman let no good man down
Hit your finger with a hammer and the pain ain't the same
There ain't nothin' like a woman to drive a good man insane
She's gonna keepin' you in mis'ry like a flee on a hound
Cause the blues ain't nothin' but a woman let no good man down
[ guitar - piano ]
When you been out a walkin' in the drizzlin' rain
You gonna hear everybody callin' out her name
Go find yourself a river jump in and drown
Cause the blues ain't nothin' but a woman let no good man down
