Lyrics It Serves You Right To Suffer - John Lee Hooker, The Avener

It Serves You Right To Suffer

It serve you right to suffer
Serve you right to be alone
Serve you right to suffer
Serve you right to be alone
Because you’re still livin'
In days done past and gone
Ev’rytime you see a woman
She make you think of yours
Yeah, ev’rytime you see a woman
She make you think of yours
And that’s why, that’s why, that’s why
You can’t keep from cryin'
Your doctor put you on
Milk, cream and alcohol
Your doctor put you on
Milk, cream and alcohol
He told you that’s why
You can’t sleep at night
From nerves, so bad
Yeah.
Ev’ry time you see a woman
She makes you think of yours
Ev’rytime you see a woman
She make you think of your own
She treated you so bad
You just couldn’t keep from cryin'
Umm, mmm, mmm
Your life never be the same
Umm, umm, mmm
You’re still livin' in the days
Done gone past and gone
And memories
Yeah-yeah
You can’t live on
In that way
In the past
Them days
Is gone
Gone
