Mr. Sykes Blues Lyrics

Roosevelt Sykes Mr. Sykes Blues

Mmm I done you wrong : but I won't do that no more
You taught me a lesson : about a Mr so‑and‑so

My babe come running : [with a, she had] marriage license
in her hand
You say I ain't hardly got the heart to tell you : but I
have got another man

I said bye bye : bye bye girl friend bye bye
I can't stay here and be happy : and I ain't going to
even try

Mmm : you asked me [to, would I] try you again
I shook my head and said : you going out with my best
friend

Oh yeah : oh yes oh yes I know
I found out you's no good mama : I think I better let you
go

Mmm : you can't do that again
I'm watching everybody : I'm only watching my only best
friend
