INTRO

For now it's lovin', really, really wor-worryin' me, Lord, wor-worryin' me
Lovin', it's really wor-worryin' me, hmmm-hmmm-mmm
And that cruel-hearted lovin', it's gonna be the death of me, hmmm-hmmm-mmm

Prison, sure don't wanta make it my home, Lord, make it my home
Prison, sure don't want to make it my home
I'm a good-hearted poor boy, just a long way from home

Tell me cruel-hearted, mama, what's on your hard-hearted mind, Lord, hard-hearted mind
Tell me cruel-hearted, mama, what's on your hard-hearted mind
Says you keep me in trouble, so worried and bothered, all the time

And I love my, little baby, I'll tell you just how I know it, Lord, just how I know
I love my, little baby, tell you just how I know
I will worry if I mistreated poor her, baby in the fro-host and snow

And it's blues, woke me for my telephone, Lord, my telephone
Blue blues, woke me for my telephone
I got a long dist' call, my baby, "Daddy, I ain't comin' back home."

The two women, I'm lovin' deep the bottom my heart, Lord, the bottom my heart
Two women I'm, lovin' deep the bottom my heart
That's one in Cincinnati, Marika Wise who broke my heart

Tell me cruel-hearted, mama, what you want your daddy to do, Lord, your daddy to do
Tell me cruel-hearted mama, what you want your daddy to do
How, 'cause you say you murder me, baby, and you leave me, too

And I'm goin' away, and baby, cryin' it won't be long, Lord, it won't be long
I'm goin' away, and baby, cryin' it won't be long
And take your Bible, pretty mama, and read the days your daddy's gone
