Dishrag Blues

[Verse 1]
I had a man, so nice and brown
The sweetest man in your town
Until the other day, I heard him say
That he was going away
When you get one man, you'd better get two
There's no tellin' what that first man may do

[Verse 2]
I'm standin' in the kitchen, wringin' my dishrag dry
I'm standin' in the kitchen, wringin' my dishrag dry
If I get myself a pistol, somebody's sure to die

[Verse 3]
I've been walkin', baby, with my head bent low
I've been walkin', baby, with my head bent low
I can't understand why my baby don't want me no more

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
I've cooked my breakfast, don't know which to choose
I've cooked my breakfast, baby, but don't know which to choose
To eat my breakfast, baby, or continue with them dishrag blues
