[Verse 1]
Whoa, I'm sittin’ here with my arms folded
Oh, Lord, just as blue as I can be
Oh, I'm sittin' here with my arms folded
Oh, Lord, just as blue as I can be
(Wonder why)
Oh, Lord, look like everything I get (Have mercy)
Somebody takes it away from me
(Maybe stop one day, sooner or later)
[Verse 2]
Whoa
Yeah, you may take my little woman
Well, I won’t get mad at you
You know they like to take 'em, line 'em up, turn 'em 'round
Take someone elses too
And I'm mad at the world when I do that
Everybody's down on me
Whoa, why they do me like they do, God in heaven knows
Oh, Lightenin' just can’t see
[Outro]
Just got to play it rightchere
Don’t get mad at me
'Cause I’m gonna play it to my own satisfaction
Don't cut my throat
