Ahh, the way my wife treats me, it sure is a sin
The way my wife treats me, it sure is a sin
Stay out all night long, 'fore day come creepin' in
Then I wanted to know, "Honey, where have you been?"
Then I wanted to know, "Honey, where have you been?"
She cou'n't say nothing but, "It'll never happen again."
I think, sweet mama, I'll have to let you go
I think, sweet mama, I have to let you go
So pack up all your clothes, you can't sleep here no more
It's bad to have a crooked woman, she'll keep you livin' in sin
Ah, it's bad to have a crooked woman, she'll keep you livin' in sin
Then all she will say, "It'll never happen again."
If I had a-listened to my Mama's rules
If I had a-listened to my Mama's rules
I wouldn't've been singin' these crooked woman blues
I'm gon' sing this verse and I ain't gon' sing no more
I'm gon' sing this verse, I ain't gon' sing no more
I got them blues, and I'm sure Lord, got to go
