That woman named mary, she going to stay out all night long That woman named mary, she would go and stay out all night long Well, you know, she wouldn't come back to the house Until po'lightnin' and his blues was gone Know you got another man, mary That's why you treat me so unkind I know you got another man, mary That's why you treat me so unkind You know the blues gonna dwell with you I can't get these blues off of my mind Have you made you bed hard, baby Sleep in and call your bed ease Have you made you bed hard, baby Sleep in and call your bed ease You know the blues is just a funny feeling Yet people call it a mighty bad disease
