Mean Woman Blues Songtext
von Barry Goudreau

I got married it was out of fright
She said yes - I didn′t wanna fight
I got bruises up and down my arm
That woman loves to do me harm

Oh baby, well I got me the mean woman blues

Now listen - this is just the way it happened

I went out to have a drink with the boys
I wasn't breaking the law
I came home I didn′t make much noise
She hit me right smack in the jaw

Well the next thing I know here comes a table and chair
I fell down she picked me up by the hair
She said, I know you're out seein' some whore
And I′m gonna even the score

Baby alright
Oh you know that woman loves to fight
Lord she can kick, scratch and bite
Got me shaking all night

Oh baby, well I got me the mean woman blues


She got a heart that′s cold as ice
You cross her once, you won't cross her twice
There′s no tellin' once her mind is made
It′s like steppin' on a hand grenade

Oh baby, well I got me the mean woman blues

Now listen up

I went out for a walk in the park
Just gettin′ some air
I came home, and it was just after dark
She met me at the top of the stairs

Well the next thing I know she began to wail
I went flyin' somewhere over the rail
She said I know you're out doing me wrong
But honey it won′t be for long

So baby sit down
She said you and me are gonna have another round
She said in this house female brutality
Has become a reality

I said wow

Oh baby alright
Oh you know that woman loves to fight
She can kick, scratch, and bite
Got me shaking all night


Oh baby, well I got me the mean woman blues

I got married, it was out of fright
She said yes, I didn′t wanna fight
I got bruises up and down my arm
That woman loves to do me harm

Oh baby, well I got me the mean woman blues

Now tell me if you think this is fair

I went out to have a drink with the boys
I wasn't breaking the law
I came home I didn′t make much noise
She hit me right smack in the jaw

Well the next thing I know here comes a table and chair
I fell down she picked me up by the hair
She said, I know you're out seein′ some whore
And I'm gonna even the score

So baby sit down
She said you and me are gonna have another round, sucker
She said in this house female brutality
Has become a reality

I said wow

Oh baby, now enough is enough
Now put down that hammer honey please

Ow - Yeah - Whoa
