Woman's Blues Lyrics

My lover’s mouth
been so good to me
My lover’s mouth
been so good to me
it promised joy for a jailhouse
and a broken key
Whoa God
I got a job
on the chamber’s walls of heartache
Whoa God, it’s hard on the chamber’s
walls of heartache
Baby don’t love me
shuffle
’cause another one do

My man’s run off
leave me motherless
My man’s run off
leave me motherless
that man
he ran just like a break in a dam
Whoa God
I got a job
on the chamber’s walls of heartache
Whoa God, it’s hard on the chamber’s
walls of heartache
Baby don’t love me
shuffle
’cause another one do
another one too
Three four five seven
you’ll never get to heaven
Don’t talk wonder
’cause God broke thunder above
You were lookin’ to hurt
and I was hurtin’ to love
My, my, well, if it isn’t everlovin’ you

Go live as long as an elephant
Go live as long as an elephant
But there won’t be
more lovin’ woman than me
Whoa
got to get gone, better ride
from the hill on heartache
Whoa
got to get gone, better ride
from the hill on heartache
Baby don’t love me
shuffle ’cause another one...
baby don’t love me?
Hitch hike

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
