I went downtown, I thought I'd have a good time

Got home this morning, didn't have a dime

Lordy, Lordy, Lordy got them dog house blues

No use talkin', I got the dog house blues

Came home this morning, about half past eight

She said, "Honey you're out too late"

Lordy, Lordy, Lordy got them dog house blues

No use talkin', I got the dog house blues

I told her I'd been fishin' for an excuse

She knows different and it ain't no use

Lordy, Lordy, Lordy got them dog house blues

No use talkin', I got the dog house blues

I went in the house, started the fire

She kicked me out in the middle of the night

Lordy, Lordy, Lordy got them dog house blues

No use talkin', I got the dog house blues

I fell out in the yard, mad as I can be

Said to little doggy, "Make room for me"

Lordy, Lordy, Lordy got them dog house blues

No use barkin', I got the dog house blues
