Housebound Blues

Kirsty Fraser

[Verse 1]
All across this bad-luck land, a story keeps botherin' me
Concernin' the woman and the man, and this inequality
Men goes out drinkin' all night long
Come in and think it ain't nothin' wrong
I'm bound to bust and it ain't no lie
And that's why you hear me cry

[Chorus]
Said I got them Housebound Blues
Got them housebound blues
You ask what's the matter, what's the matter with me
I'm gonna tell you partner so it's plain to see

[Verse 2]
I'm so tired
Lord it's more than one woman can bear
Washin' dishes, changin' diapers, sweepin' the floor
While you puttin' on your clothes, walkin' out that door

[Chorus]
Housebound Blues
While you out singin', drinkin' your booze
You bring some money, think you done all right
Lay down snorin', keep me up all night

[ad-lib]
Oh I tell you Willie I had enough of you
I had it up to here. You just a big pain in my butt

[Chorus]
Housebound Blues
Oh, got them Housebound Blues
Now that's it Willie. I had it, I had it up to here. It's over
Oh, got them Housebound Blues
