Lyrics for Blues For Me

Don't make me pay for his mistakes, baby He's the one who did you wrong Yes, don't make me pay for his mistakes, baby He's the one who did you wrong Well, he's the one who gave you six babies And I'm the one who tried to give them a home, yes I am I said, I'm tired of you tellin' me baby About how your man did you wrong How he used to take your welfare cheque And leave the kids without home but I'm the one who's working I'm the one trying to give them a home Yes, I'm the one who's gonna love you baby I'm the one who gonna give them a home Oh yes I am I said I don't understand What make a good woman treat a man so bad She take a no good man and give him everything she had She'll reach back in the cookie jar and give him every dime and let the kids run around hungry Sleepin' and a cryin' So don't make me pay for his mistakes, baby He's the one who did you wrong Yes, he's the one who gave you six babies and I'm the one who gonna give them a home Oh yes I am Yes, he's the one who gave you six babies And I'm the one tryin' to give them a home Hold on Don't make me pay, baby Don't make me pay for his mistakes, baby He's the one who did you wrong Lord baby He's the one
