Man Stealer Blues

I went to bed last night and these blues wouldn’t let me rest
I went to bed last night, these blues wouldn’t let me rest
'Cause I ain’t been used to sleeping by myself
Oh blues, Oh blues. Blues, don’t you see?
I say blues, Oh blues. Blues, don’t you see?
You are carryin' me down. Blues, you’re tryin' to kill for me
Now, blues and trouble go hand in hand (have mercy!)
Blues and trouble go hand in hand
I never had these blues until my best friend loved my man
She may have loved him one time, but that’s one man she sure can’t hold
She may have loved him one time, but that’s one man she sure can’t hold
'Cause its done been tested that I cook the best deli roll
He puts his arms around me, like the ring around the good lord sun
He puts his arms around me, like the ring around that good lord sun
There he ain’t had no woman to love me, lord, like I done
