(Hank Mills - Walter Hayness - Lovender)

When you wake up in the mornin'
And you're sick from your head to toe
No need to get a doctor
'Cause the doc he won't know.

How to take away the hurtin'
That's been a tossin' you around
You say the blues ain't nothin' but
A woman let no good man down.

Hit your finger with a hammer
And the pain ain't the same
There ain't nothin' like a woman
To drive a good man insane.

She's gonna keep you in mis'ry
Like a flee on a hound
'Cause the blues ain't nothin' but
A woman let no good man down.

--- Instrumental ---

When you been out a walkin'
In the drizzlin' rain
You gonna hear everybody
Callin' out her name.

Go find yourself a river
Jump in and drown
'Cause the blues ain't nothin' but
A woman let no good man down...
