When my first wife left me, she left my heart in misery
When my first wife left me, she left my heart in misery
Ever since that day boy, I don't think I'll ever love again
If I can get her back again, I'll never roam no more
If I get her back again, boys, I never roam no more
I had a good wife, but I did not treat her right
It's my fault, only have myself to blame
It's my fault, it's my fault boys, I only have myself to blame
She would have been home right now, if I hadn't wanted every woman that I seen
I found out one thing, these women don't mean you no good
I found out one thing people, these women don't mean you no good
You mistreated a good girl for some woman, that she'd turn around and turn her back on you
Yes, yeah
I'm having bad luck, having bad luck ever since she been gone
I'm having bad luck, bad luck, bad luck, ever since my baby been gone
When she was at home, Lord, I did not treat her right

Sally Mae, Sally Mae
Lord, you know you ain't treat'n me right
Sally Mae, Sally Mae
Lord, you know you ain't treat'n me right
You stay out all night long
Lord, you know you ain't treat'n me right

You're a no good weed
Lord, the cows, won't mow you down
You're a no good weed
Lord, the cows, won't mow you down
I was chief of police, I would drive you out of town
George! Play the blues!

You ought to leave this town, Sally Mae
You ought to leave here to stay
You ought to leave this town
Y'ought to leave here to stay
Your reputation, Sally Mae
Your reputation ain't no good

Sally Mae, Sally Mae
Y'ought to change in your younger days
Yeah!
Sally Mae, Sally Mae
Y'oughtta change your ways in your younger days
Better change now Sally Mae
Change in your younger days

Well my mama she didn't 'low me, just to stay out all night long, oh Lord
Well my mama didn't 'low me, just to stay out all night long
I didn't care what she didn't 'low, I would boogie-woogie anyhow

When I first came to town people, I was walkin' down Hastings Street
Everybody was talkin' about, the Henry Swing Club
I decided I drop in there that night
When I got there, I say, "Yes, people"
They was really havin' a ball!
Yes, I know
Boogie Chillen'!

One night I was layin' down,
I heard mama 'n papa talkin'
I heard papa tell mama, let that boy boogie-woogie,
It's in him, and it got to come out
And I felt so good,
Went on boogie'n just the same

Yes, I lay down last night.
Yes, I was thinking to myself.
Oh lord.
Lord I was thinking all of her to myself.

Yes, I wonder how did you love me any baby?
Now was you lovin' - now was you lovin', oh, somebody else?
Hear my baby when she left me, oh Lord,
When she left me by myself.

Lord, I'm sure is worried.
I'm just sitting here thinkin'.

Yes, I'm going out...
(several lines unintelligible)

I says I lay down last night, lay down last night.
Now, but I sure wasn't satisified. Now, but I sure wasn't satisfied.
I was thinkin' about my baby,
And I wonder if she'll come back to me.

Well, I say good-
Goodbye baby.Goodbye Baby.
I hope we meet again.
I hope we meet again someday, oh Lord.

(John Lee Hooker / Bernard Besman)

Well, my baby she long and she tall and she weep like a willow tree
Well, my baby long and she's tall and she weep like a willow tree
Ev'ry time she love me, she make my love come down

I seen my baby this mornin', she was weepin' to herself

When I first thought to hobo'in, hobo'in,

You know I hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo'd,
Hobo'd a long, long way from home, oh Lord

Yes, my mother followed me that mornin', me that mornin'

It was that Wednesday
When the storm was sinkin' low
You know it was that Wednesday, evenin'
When the storm was sinkin' low
My baby packed her clothes.
Yes, I got to leave now

I said, Lord have mercy
Help me in my wicked way

Send my baby on back to me

Lower down your chariot, baby

Hmm, she stung me this mornin', yes, yes, yes, I been lookin' for all day long

Grinding up the bone
