Really

Had me a gal in baton rouge, called her lou-easy-ann
She gave me a little bit of olden dream and a key of marijuana
She treat me right
Lord, lord, lord, she treat me right
She treat me right, lord, lord
Well, i went on to new orleans, had myself a ball
The ladies there, they don't care, they don't care at all
They treat you right
Warm, warm, louisiana night
Treat you right, lord, lord
From the gulf of the mississippi, up to baton rouge
Those louisiana women, oh lord
Lord, you just can't lose
They treat you right
Treat you right
They treat you right, lord, lord, lord, lord

How can you put me through these changes
Why do you do me like you do
It ain't no way
I love-a-dee love nobody but you
Let him go out and get with strangers
Don't you turn my love to hate
Ain't no man can love you like i can, and i do
How can you put me through these changes
Why do you do me like you do
It ain't no way
I love-a-dee love nobody but you

You told me this, you told me that
You try to tell me, tell me where it's at
You said you loved me, i can see through that
Lies, lies, lies
You left me hangin', hangin' from a limb
You said you loved me, then you left with him
Lord, you did it to me, i see it in your eyes
Lies, lies, lies
Tell me baby, why you take my time
You get a thrill off playing with my mind
Lord, you did it to me, i see it in your eyes
Lies, lies, lies

My woman, my woman, you know she cryin'
She keeps me hanging on a bottle of wine
She leaves no roads open, there ought to be a law
She puts me right down here
She keeps me right down here
She holds me right down here
Lord, i talk and talk about her, can't get her off my mind
Cannot live without her, she keeps me on this wine
She leaves no roads open, there ought to be a law
She puts me right down here
She holds me right down here
She keeps me right down here
Lord, i talk and talk about her, can't get her off my mind
Cannot live without her, she keeps me on that wine
She leaves no roads open, there ought to be a law
She put me right down here
She keep me right down here
She hold me right down here
She puts me right down here
She holds me right down here
She keeps me right down here

Hiding in the alley, smoking cigarettes
Tippling in the corner, lord, i can't forget
I ain't seen no rolling, no rolling do i need
Come and get me mama, i been playing in the street
Grown into a big man, grass it get me high
Long before i fainted
Walking through the jungle, lord what can i see
Come and get me mama, i've been playing in the street
Ain't no doubt about it
Down that alley lonely
I'm gonna call you sweetheart, you can call me sweet
Come and get me mama, i've been playing in the street

Same old hassle every night
All we do is fuss and fight
Ain't no use in talking, might as well start walking
Walking out into the night
You get your gun, i'll get mine
We can do it just one time
If we live no longer, it won't get no stronger
Then we'll know who's really right
All we do is weep and moan
Trying to build ourself a home
Ain't no shame in trying, ain't no use denying
Everything will be alright
