ANY WOMAN'S BLUES

My man ain't actin' right,
He stays out late at night,
And still he says he loves no-one but me;
but if I find that gal
That tries to steal my pal,
I'll get her cold, just you wait and see!


I feel blue,
I don't know what to do,
Every woman in my fix
Is bound to feel blue too!


'Cause I love my man better than I love myself,
Lord, I love my man better than I love myself,
And if he don't have me he won't have nobody else!


My man's got teeth like a lighthouse on the sea,
My man's got teeth like a lighthouse on the sea,
And ev'ry time he smiles he throws them lights on me!


His voice sounds like chimes, I mean the organ kind,
His voice sounds like chimes, I mean the organ kind,
And ev'ry time he speaks his music ease my troubled mind.
