Now you put rocks in my pillow, mama
You put stones in my bed
And you never have agreed with 'nother thing I said
But I forgive you because I love you, yes and I need you
You know I love you, darling, and I want you back again
Now you put poison in my whiskey, mama
Poison in my bread
You had the nerve to tell me that you wish that I was dead
But I forgive you because I love you, yes and I need you
You know I love you, mama, and I want you back again
Oh, play the blues this morning
Now you have thrown out all of my clothes, mama
You put a pad-lock on your door
Now you telling all of the neighbors, you don't want my love no more
But I forgive you because I love you, yes and I need you
You know I love you, darling, and I want you back again
