Mad Man Blues Lyrics

Look out there man, I've got the mad man blues

I come home last night around nine o'clock
I knew you weren't there, baby,
'Cause I knock na-na-knock
I got the mad man blues
Got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues,
Man, don't ya know, don't ya know

I'm gonna take you, baby, by the riverside
Hang you up, baby, there by your neck
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
And man, don't ya know, don't ya know

Beg me last night, the night before
Next time I see you I'm gonna mow you down
I got the mad man blues
Got the mad man blues
I got a mad man blues
And man, don't ya know, don't ya know

Look out there, man
I'm gonna take you all night for a easy ride
Drop you off, mama, by the riverside
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
I got a mad man blues,
Man, don't ya know, don't ya know

I come home last night around nine o'clock
I knew you weren't there, baby,
'Cause I knock na-na-knock
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues,
Man, don't ya know, don't ya know

I got the mad man blues,
Man, don't ya know, don't ya know

Howlin' for My Baby

Look out there man, I've got the mad man blues

I come home last night around nine o'clock
I knew you weren't there, baby,
'Cause I knock na-na-knock
I got the mad man blues
Got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues,
Man, don't ya know, don't ya know

I'm gonna take you, baby, by the riverside
Hang you up, baby, there by your neck
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
And man, don't ya know, don't ya know

Beg me last night, the night before
Next time I see you I'm gonna mow you down
I got the mad man blues
Got the mad man blues
I got a mad man blues
And man, don't ya know, don't ya know

Look out there, man
I'm gonna take you all night for a easy ride
Drop you off, mama, by the riverside
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
I got a mad man blues,
Man, don't ya know, don't ya know

I come home last night around nine o'clock
I knew you weren't there, baby,
'Cause I knock na-na-knock
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues,
Man, don't ya know, don't ya know

I got the mad man blues,
Man, don't ya know, don't ya know

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.
