Description?
Lyrics[Verse 1]
I had a man, so nice and brown
The sweetest man in your town
Until the other day, I heard him say
That he was going away
When you get one man, you'd better get two
There's no tellin' what that first man may do

[Verse 2]
I'm standin' in the kitchen, wringin' my dishrag dry
I'm standin' in the kitchen, wringin' my dishrag dry
If I get myself a pistol, somebody's sure to die
[Verse 3]
I've been walkin', baby, with my head bent low
I've been walkin', baby, with my head bent low
I can't understand why my baby don't want me no more

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
I've cooked my breakfast, don't know which to choose
I've cooked my breakfast, baby, but don't know which to choose
To eat my breakfast, baby, or continue with them dishrag bluesYou might also like
