Mean Mother Blues

F                 C             F
When I got home I found my baby away
A7                                                Bb
Yeah a lil' piece of paper said she'd gone out to play
Bb
I know the river's done gone dry
F                     Dm
She's trapped another fly
Bb                         C                 F
I got nuthin' to do, but a few more words to say


Chorus:
C                    Bb
I got the mean woman blues
F
Lord knows i'd lose
G                                   C
I just can't seem to get her off my mind
Bb
She's an all night rockin' mother
F            Dm
Lord knows I love her
Bb                  C                F
She's leavin' me to ramble on up the line


When she moved in I kissed the blues goodbye
She lit my torch and left the furnace on high
Lord the money that I paid
For that livin', lovin', maid
Now she left me here
to grieve on and cry

Chorus x1

If you hear my song, you know just what I mean
Lord I think it's all just apart of the woman scheme
If you're buyin what she sells
She'll run you straight to hell
Captivate your mind and pick your truths so clean
