Helpless Blues |
| You know she took the Chevrolet with her this morning, people |
| She didn’t leave me nothing but a mule to ride |
| She took the car this morning |
| Left me an old mule to ride |
| You know, when the car backed out the driveway |
| That old mule laid down and died |
| She didn’t leave me nothing, people |
| Nothing but these old helpless blues |
| She didn’t leave me nothing, people |
| Nothing but these old helpless blues |
| A dirty two-room apartment |
| Yes, and a cardboard suitcase full of «I-Owe-You's» |
| I said, how can you do to me, baby? |
| Oh, how can you just stand right there in my face and watch me cry? |
| Oh, tell me, baby, how can you stand in my face, watch me cry? |
| Oh, she said: I got news for you |
| Oh, darling, I can stand in your face and watch you die! |
| She took my ring right off the night stand, people |
| You know, she went and put my grandpa’s watch in pawn |
| She took my old diamond ring off the night stand |
| She put my grandpa’s watch in pawn |
| She said: if you don’t believe I’m leaving, baby |
| If you don’t believe I’m leaving, baby |
| If you don’t believe I’m going, sweet thing |
| If you don’t think I’m quitting, David |
| Why, just you count the days I’m gone |
