In order to have a good mess of blues
You got to have a good piano player
And then you got to have a funky guitar
And after the piano and the guitar
You got to have a voice
I (I), I (I), I (I)
I am that voice
Piano player, do that patio for me
Hey, Mr. Jones
Turn up all the lights
My woman's out there with somebody
And I swear we're gonna fight
You gotta go
Woman, you gotta go
It ain't none of me, baby
I know you gotta go
Woman, you made me love you
You got me for your slave
If you don't treat me better
I'm gonna put you in your grave
And then you have to go
Woman, you gotta go
It ain't none of me, baby
I know you gotta go
Woman, you made me love you
Long, long time ago
You knew you were a married woman
Why in the hell did you tell me so?
You gotta go
Woman, you gotta go
It ain't none of me, baby
I know you gotta go
You talk about your woman
You oughta see mine
She's five foot four
And she sticks way out behind
You gotta go
I know you gotta go
It ain't none of me, baby
I know you gotta go
Now come on and play your guitar now, son
Yeah
Woo
Don't quit now, don't quit now
Now if you wanna be happy
Come go home with me
I got springs on my bed singin'
"My country 'tis of thee"
Woman, you gotta go
I know, I know you gotta go
It ain't none of me, baby
I, I, I know you gotta go
Girl (Girl), girl (Girl), girl (Girl)
Girl, I'm only five foot seven
Stacked up and I'm built for speed
I think I'm gonna have to say that again, y'all
I'm stacked up, I'm stacked up and I'm built for speed
And if your husband and your boyfriends ain't got it
Rufus got everything you need
Let him go
Throw him out, kick him out, just so you let him go
It ain't none of me, baby
Somebody sure have got to go
