Back Door Blues |
| I took the front door in |
| But I had to take the back door out |
| I took the front door in |
| But I had to take that back door out |
| I was sleeping very peacefully |
| When all of a sudden, I heard a shout |
| Now, I grabbed my clothes |
| Didn’t even take time to dress |
| I grabbed my hat, my coat, my shoes |
| And my money of course |
| I didn’t even take time to dress |
| Yes, I was running so fast |
| I didn’t even have time to rest |
| I ran through the alley |
| I cut across the lot |
| I took a quick look behind me |
| But then I heard the shot |
| I kept runnin' to my house |
| Put the lock on the door |
| That woman had a husband |
| I’m not going back there anymore |
| I thought she was my woman |
| But she was somebody else’s wife |
| I took the front door in |
| And I almost most my life |
| I ran through the alley |
| Cut across the lot |
| Took a quick look behind me |
| But then I heard the shotgun |
| I kept runnin' to my house |
| Put three or four locks on the door |
| That woman had a husband, a big one too! |
| I’m not going back there anymore |
| I thought she was my woman |
| But she was somebody else’s wife |
| I took the front door in |
| And I almost most my life |
