I been walkin', I been walkin', I been walkin' all night with the blues
I been walkin', I been walkin', walkin' all night long
Tryin' to find some place, I can call my happy home
They say that bad luck and trouble, they both walk hand in hand
They say that bad luck and trouble, both walk hand in hand
And you never had no bad luck, until you lost your man
My baby put me out, put me out for somebody else
My baby's put me out, for somebody else
But that's alright, I brought it on myself
You can mistreat me now, but you can't when I go home
You can mistreat me now-ooh, but you can't when I go home
And I'm gonna tell everybody, that you just won't leave me alone
Lord Lord Lord, baby you know you done me wrong
Lord Lord Lord, daddy you done me wrong
Now I'm a poor motherless girl, and I ain't got no happy home
