Woman With The Blues

by recording of 1985 from Maverick (Rounder 3045) You're out on the town, playing it cool While she hangs around, playing your fool But what's really going down? Who's fooling who? She's just a woman, she's just a woman with the blues Now, night after night, she's staying home And you know it ain't right, to constantly roam It's her life to choose, but that's no excuse She's just a woman, she's just a woman with the blues This pain in her heart, she keeps to herself But you know from the start, there was nobody else Yes, she loves only you, and her love is true She's just a woman, she's just a woman with the blues Now, one of these days, you'll wake up and find That she's changed her ways, and she's changed her mind And the love you refused, is the love you will lose So don't give your woman, don't give your woman the blues

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
