Lightnin' Hopkins lyrics

You Treat Poor Lightnin Wrong blues lyrics

You know I was sittin down to my table,
Had the blues so bad I couldn't even eat.
You know I was sittin down to my table,
Had the blues so bad I couldn't even eat.
You know I was thinkin 'bout my baby,
Late, out all night, come in this mornin beat.

Kinda hard when a woman do them things.
Beggin all the time, Don't do that no more.

Baby, tell me why would you stay out all night,
When you got everything you need at home.
Mmmmmmm,
You got everything you need at home.
She said, I just couldn't help it cause the man was drivin a Cadillac,
And it seemed like it was my own.

Tried ya, baby,
But, right now I see my tryin was wrong.
I say, I tried ya,
But, right now I see that my tryin was wrong.
Whoa you won't treat poor right,
Whoa you always treat poor Lightnin wrong.
