I can't sleep at night
Can't even eat a bite
'Cause the woman that I'm lovin'
Just don't treat me right
She goes out and pitcher boogie-woogie
Every day and night
I love that girl, that is true
But her rowdy ways won't do
She's mean, and she's evil
Cruel as any woman can be
Well, the more I try to love her
The less, oh, that she cares for me
She stays out late, drinking her gin
She keeps time with other men
She will pitch a boogie-woogie
If I say, "Darling, where you been?"
Well, I'm going to jump Salty
If I catch her out again
Break it down
ย
I can't, I can't sleep at night
I can't, I can't even eat a bite
Because the woman that I'm lovin'
Just won't treat me right
She goes out and pitcher boogie-woogie
Having fun both day and night
I love her, that is true
Rowdy ways won't do
Mean and she's evil
Cruel as any girl can be
Well, the more I try to love her
The less, oh, that she cares for me
Stays out late, drinking her gin
Keeps time with other men
She will get mean and evil
If I say, "Sweetheart, where you been?"
Well, I'm gonna pitch myself a boogie
If I catch her out again
Play the blues, play the blues
