And still he says he loves no one but me? But if I find that gal, that tries to steal my pal I'll get her told, just you wait and see?I feel blue, I don't know what to do Every woman in my fix is bound to feel blue too, 'cause?I love my man better than I love myself Lord, I love my man better than I love myself And if he don't have me, he won't have nobody else? My man's got teeth like a lighthouse on the sea? My man's got teeth like a lighthouse on the sea?

When it rained five days and the sky turned dark as night (2x)
Then trouble's taking place in the lowlands tonight. I woke up this morning, can't even get out of my door (2x) That's enough trouble to make a poor girl wonder where she want to go. They rowed a little boat about five miles across the farm (2x) I packed all of my clothes, throwed them in, and they rowed me along. When it thundered and lighteninged and the wind began to blow (2x) There's thousands of people ain't got no place to go. And I went and stood up on some high old lonesome hill (2x) And looked down on the house where I used to live. Back Water Blues done calls me to pack my things and go (2x) Cause my house fell down, and I can't live there no more. Mmm, I can't move no more (2x) There ain't no place for a poor old girl to go. |

Hey boweavil, don't sing them blues no more Boweavil's here, boweavil's everywhere you go I'm a lone boweavil, been out a great long time I'm a lone boweavil, been out a great long time For to sing this song, to ease boweavil's troublin' mind I don't want no sugar, put into my tea I don't want no sugar, put into my tea The mens are so evil, I'm scared they might poison me I went down town I bought myself a hat I brought it back home I laid it on the shelf I looked in my bedroom Tired sleepin' by myself I'm tired sleepin' by myself |

Love, oh love, oh careless love
You've fly through my head like wine You've wrecked the life of a many poor girl And you nearly spoiled this life of mine Love, oh love, oh careless love In your clutches of desire You've made me break a many true vow Then you set my very soul on fire Love, oh love, oh careless love All my happiness bereft You've filled my heart with weary old blues Now I'm walkin', talkin' to myself Love, oh love, oh careless love Trusted you now, it's too late You've made me throw my old friend down That's why I sing this song of hate Love, oh love, oh careless love Night and day, I weep and moan You brought the wrong man into this life of mine For my sins, till judgment I'll atone |
