Mother-in-law Blues Lyrics

Hope Waits Mother-in-law Blues

It was early in the mornin', I heard a rooster crow for
days
It was early in the mornin', I heard a rooster crow for
days
I looked out my window and saw my baby walk away

I thought "Lord, please stop him, ain't gonna get drunk
no more"
I thought "Lord, please stop him, ain't gonna get drunk
no more"
I hollered out my window, "Come back baby please don't
go"

I know he heard me callin', he looked back and waved his
hand
I know he heard me callin', he looked back and waved his
hand
I could hear him tell his momma, "That's one no good
woman!"

Well, I watched my baby leave, his momma had him by the
hand
Well, I watched my baby leave, his momma had him by the
hand
I'd give anything I have, just to see my man again
