I saw you last night
I’m sure it was you
After some more surgery
With another beau
At an Italian restaurant
On center street
You smiled politely
yet eyes never meet
You snuck out the back
Just behind the stairs
For another lie of blow
Then you gave me a stare
And when you came back
With an entrance so grand
You glanced at my daughter
What you might have had
You talked up the maid
And talked down the help
Sighed at your lover
And the hand you had dealt
I saw you last night
When you were all alone
That sad smile over your shoulder
And then I was gone

Blues. I still haven’t gotten this worked out completely, but I had to record it so I wouldn’t forget it. Hats off to Lightnin’ Hopkins on this one.

I spent the whole night long
thinkin on you
tossed and turned till morning
and nuthin’ ever seems to do
my tired bones ache
from cryin and dreaming over you
and I cried like this
lord knows I’ve tried to forget you
tear you from my troubled mind
dulled my achin’ heart
drinkin whiskey till I’m blind
but no matter how hard I try
i can’t leave you far behind
every night when I lay down
and close my weary eyes
when I set my head down
no matter how hard I try
it’s your face I see
till I fall asleep from cryin’
and I cry like this
I spent the whole night long
thinkin on you
tossed and turned till morning
and nuthin’ ever seems to do
my tired bones ache
from cryin and dreaming over you
and I cried like this
