Woman Trouble Blues

The woman's name was trouble

She put the blame on me

I asked her what her game was

She said "Misery"

I didn't ask no questions

I did not even pray

When the angel on my shoulder

Said I should walk away

You promised me heaven, but, you gave me hell

Cut me down to the bone with your kiss and tell

Nobody listens to a word I say

Still I'm gonna curse you, woman, 'til my dying day

I should have known better with a girl like you

You shame the devil with the things you do

I was blind, now I see

A lying woman be the death of me

I got woman trouble blues

Woman trouble blues

You told me it was meant to be

But, all you did was put the hurt on me

You made my life a living hell

And drowned my dreams in the wishing well

I've got woman trouble blues

Woman trouble blues

There ain't no doubt I'm going down

The woman's name was trouble

She put the blame on me

I gave her what she wanted

And I got misery

Now I don't take much persuading

At times I'm easily led

I'm gonna find myself in a prison cell

Thro' the lying things she said

I'll stand accused on judgement day

And pray the lord hears what I say

All my life I never learned

I played with fire and I got burned

Woman trouble blues

I got woman trouble blues

Woman trouble blues

Mean ol' woman trouble blues
