Blues in the Dark

Kind treatment make me love you, be mean and you’ll drive me away
Kind treatment make me love you, be mean and you’ll drive me away
You’re gonna long for me, baby, one of these old rainy days!
Did you ever dream, lucky baby, and wake up cold in hand?
Did you ever dream, lucky baby, and wake up cold in hand?
You didn’t have a dollar, and somebody had your woman!
Woman, raise your right hand, and swear that you’ve been true
Put it down!
Yes, raise your right hand, baby, and swear that you’ve been true
Put it down!
Say you’ve been a real good woman, like the good man I’ve been to you!
Did you ever dream, lucky baby, and wake up cold in hand?
Did you ever dream, lucky baby, and wake up cold in hand?
You didn’t have a dollar, and somebody had your woman, oh yeah!
Tell the truth, man!
Play it, Holme!
Did you ever dream, lucky babe, and wake up cold in hand, oh yeah?
