| All across this bad-luck land, a story keeps botherin' me
|
| Concernin' the woman and the man, and this inequality
|
| Men goes out drinkin' all night long
|
| Come in and think it ain’t nothin' wrong
|
| I’m bound to bust and it ain’t no lie
|
| And that’s why you hear me cry…
|
| Said I got them Housebound Blues
|
| Got them housebound blues
|
| You ask what’s the matter, what’s the matter with me
|
| I’m gonna tell you partner so it’s plain to see
|
| I’m so tired
|
| Lord it’s more than one woman can bear
|
| Washin' dishes, changin diapers, sweepin the floor
|
| While you puttin' on your clothes, walkin' out that door
|
| Housebound Blues
|
| While you out singin', drinkin' your booze
|
| You bring some money, think you done all right
|
| Lay down snorin, keep me up all night
|
| Oh I tell you Willie I had enough of you
|
| I had it up to here. |
| You just a big pain in my butt
|
| Housebound Blues
|
| Oh, got them Housebound Blues
|
| Now that’s it Willie. |
| I had it, I had it up to here. |
| It’s over
|
| Oh, got them Housebound Blues |
