Mabel Songtext
von John Lee Hooker

Listen
Take a listen
Mm-hm

Mabel, come home tonight
Oh, Mabel, Mabel, Mabel
Come home tonight, home tonight
Mabel, I don′t love no one but you, you, you, you-you
Oh, Mabel, May-Mabel
I don't love no one but you, you, you, you, you, you, you
Come home tonight

Mabel, I call ya on the phone
Oh, Mabel, Mabel, Mabel
I call ya on the telephone, the telephone
And what happened?
And some man answers
Some man answers your phone
Say you wasn′t at home
And that ain't right, that ain't right
That ain′t right, that ain′t right


I got in my car
Oh, and I drove to your door, to your door, to your door
I got in my car, my car, my car
And I drove up to your door
I said, Mabel, Mabel, Mabel
Oh, come home tonight, come home tonight

C'mon

Oh, yeah

Mm-hmm
Mabel, Mabel
Now, gimme just one more chance, one more chance
Oh, Mabel, Mabel, Mabel
I′m beggin' for one more chance, one more chance
One more chance, mm-mm
I′ll prove to you, I prove to you
I'm still a man, I′m still a man

Oh, Mabel, Mabel-Mabel, Mabel, Mabel
Now, try me one more time, one more time

I wanna thank you

Thank you very much


I want to say, alrighty
I want to say that tonight, let's give
The great Nina Simone a round of applause
Nina Simone, let's give a round of applause to her
And the great Van Morrison is here tonight
You know what I′m sayin′
Who is my sidekick he is here, right, yeah
Never get out of this blues alive

But I'm not, not gonna do that though, I′m gon' do
I′m gonna do "In the Mood"
