De Cornelis Prulcollectie 3: Leave my wife alone

De Willekeurige Greep leverde als derde Big City Blues op, Chicagoblues met John Lee Hooker. Daarvan kies ik deze.

Hey man! Leave my wife alone!

I done told you once and ain’t gonna tell you no more
Next time I tell I’m gonna mow you down
I said leave her alone, I said leave her alone
I said man don’t you know leave my wife alone

I said look at her babe what have you dun-done?
Got my lover got her on her thumb
Better leave him alone, better leave him alone
I done told you once ain’t gonna tell you no more
Oh!
Have mercy!

I said look at her babe what you dun-done?
Got my lover got her on her thumb
I done told you baby, done told you baby
I done told you baby, leave that man alone

De lata de lata de lata do
I said baby now baby leave that man alone


John Lee Hooker, 1951
