Murdering Blues

Well, I went down to Eli's
To get my pistol out of pawn
When I got back home
My woman had done gone

Yes, I'm gonna murder my baby
If she don't stop cheating and lying
Well, I'd rather go to the penitentiary
Than to be worried out of my mind

Well, I came home last night
It was about 4 o'clock
The little moonshine joint in the rear
Had just begun to rock
I eased upside
So I could get a better view
I seen my woman
She was doin' the monkey too

Yes, I'm gonna murder my baby
If she don't stop cheating and lying
I would rather go to the penitentiary
Than to be worried out of my mind

Yeah, I don't mind going there

(solo)

Well, I give her all my money
Just trying to be nice and kind
She spent it all on bad whiskey
Or else on beer and wine

Yes, I'm gonna murder my baby
If she don't stop cheating and lying
Oh, I'm gonna put a hurt on that woman!
I'd rather go to the penitentiary
Than to be worried out of my mind
