Bridge: God knows I've been paying my dues, And only the Almighty knows why I have the blues. "Hey, now!" Hey how, hey now, "Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in!" "Oh, yeah!" Yeah, yeah. Chorus: You know I have love's blues baby. Have mercy on me. When you say to me, I'll get to you eventually. Why did you do me so wrong. Now I got to hit my bong, And sing a sad song. You know I have love's blues baby. Have mercy on me. Outro: Aw, aw, aw, aw Oh, hey, You know my baby, Loves to beat me Till I'm black blue and bloody, But you know she can't have anybody but me. Aw, aw, aw, aw Oh, hey, hey, I got love's blues baby.
