I woke up this mornin', gravel cuttin' at my feet
I woke up this mornin', gravel cuttin' at my feet
My baby done gone and found her a man complete
She left me... for a man with shoes
Yeah, she left me... for a man with shoes
Said she's tired o' walkin' barefoot, tired o' them Delta blues
I give her all my sugar, still she walked away
I give her all my sugar, Lord, still she walked away
She said, "I need me a man with leather, not just dust and clay."
She left me... for a man with shoes
Yeah, she left me... for a man with shoes
Now I'm sittin' on this doorstep, guitar in my hand
I'm sittin' on this doorstep, guitar in my hand
Singin' these low-down blues, tryin' to understand
One day she gon' be sorry, Lord, she'll pay her dues
One day she gon' be sorry, she'll pay her dues
But she long gone, laughin', with a man with shoes
She left me... oh she left me... for a man with shoes
Ain't no worse feelin'... when a woman chooses shoes
