Back Door Blues
Oh tell me baby, who was that here awhile ago?
Oh tell me baby, who was that here awhile ago?
Oh when I come in, they ran out out that back door
Now don't come here mama, I'm gonna raise some hell
You been out boogly-wooglying it, I can tell the way you smell
Oh tell me baby, who was that here awhile ago?
Oh when I come in, they ran out out that back door
This is something, I never seen before
You broke down my bed, you got a pallet on my floor
So tell me mama, before I let you go
Oh when I come in, they ran out out that back door
I had the windows nailed down, he couldn't get through
Had his hat in his hand, and his underwear too
So tell me mama, before I let you go
Yes when I come in, who's that went out that back door?
He come by me running, but it likely he ain't got a chance
With one leg in his pants, and his shoes in his hand
So tell me mama, ain't gonna ask you no more
Yes when I come in, who's that went out that back door?
Oh tell me baby, who was that here awhile ago?
Oh when I come in, they ran out out that back door
Now don't come here mama, I'm gonna raise some hell
You been out boogly-wooglying it, I can tell the way you smell
Oh tell me baby, who was that here awhile ago?
Oh when I come in, they ran out out that back door
This is something, I never seen before
You broke down my bed, you got a pallet on my floor
So tell me mama, before I let you go
Oh when I come in, they ran out out that back door
I had the windows nailed down, he couldn't get through
Had his hat in his hand, and his underwear too
So tell me mama, before I let you go
Yes when I come in, who's that went out that back door?
He come by me running, but it likely he ain't got a chance
With one leg in his pants, and his shoes in his hand
So tell me mama, ain't gonna ask you no more
Yes when I come in, who's that went out that back door?
