“When My First Wife Left Me” is a interpretation by R.L.Burnside of the John Lee Hooker' song with the same name, recorded in 1961.
The blues singer had two marriages to his name, but the second one is the most famous one, with Alice Mae Taylor Burnside, in 1949, that would be his wife until he die...
[Verse 1]
Well, when my first wife left me
God knows put that on the road
Well, when my first wife left me
God knows put that on the road
Yeah you know since that day, now people
I've sleeping on door to door
[Verse 2]
We ain't no [?] travellin' people
You know my clothes got paper thin
Ain't no [?] people
You know my clothes got paper thin
You know just said you want no man
When my baby take me back again
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
When my baby take me back again
God knows I won't leave my home no more
When my baby take me back again
God knows I won't leave my home no more
Yeah I just stand on my baby
And God knows I would settle down
When My First Wife Left Me was written by R.L. Burnside.
