| About his wife, her name is Maudie
|
| Everytime he has an arguement with her
|
| He has to write a new verse to keep her happy
|
| He was over here at London a short while back
|
| And he taught me this song ???"
|
| Oh Maudie, baby, I love you
|
| Mmm, baby, I love you
|
| Yeah, you’ve been gone so long
|
| Girl, I miss you so
|
| Oh Maudie, why did you hurt me?
|
| Mmm, Maudie, I said why did you hurt me?
|
| You know I need your sweet lovin' like a flower needs the rain
|
| Sometimes when they’d have an argument
|
| He’d take her by the hand and say
|
| «Maudie, you know I love you
|
| You know I need you
|
| And I got just one thing to say baby… ho!»
|
| Hey Maudie, baby don’t you know I love you
|
| Oh, Maudie, I said baby don’t you know I love you
|
| I’ve been gone so long, God, I miss you so much
|
| Sometimes Johns old lady
|
| She’d turn around to him and say
|
| «John, if you don’t quit your messin' around baby
|
| I’m gonna walk right outta that door
|
| With my bag in my hand.»
|
| John would say, «Hey!»
|
| Well, Maudie, sweet little girl, baby
|
| Oh Maudie, be my sweet little girl, baby
|
| When you touch my hand
|
| My head is all in a whirl now baby
|
| I love you Maudie
|
| I said I love you Maudie
|
| Oh, love you Maudie
|
| Ooh, love you Maudie
|
| You know I need, I need, I need, need, yeah
|
| I said Maudie, baby, I love you
|
| Oh Maudie, baby, I love you
|
| I love you Maudie
|
| You’ve been gone so long
|
| How I’ve missed you too much
|
| I love you |
