JOHN LEE HOOKER
"It Serves You Right To Suffer"

It serve you right to suffer
Serve you right to be alone
Serve you right to suffer
Serve you right to be alone

Because you're still livin'
In days done past and gone
Every time you see a woman
She make you think of yours

Yeah, every time you see a woman
She make you think of yours
And that's why, that's why, that's why
You can't keep from cryin'

Your doctor put you on
Milk, cream, and alcohol
Your doctor put you on
Milk, cream, and alcohol

He told you that's why
You can't sleep at night
From nerves, so bad
Yeah

Every time you see a woman
She makes you think of yours
Every time you see a woman
She make you think of your own

She treated you so bad
You just couldn't keep from cryin'
Umm, mmm, mmm
Your life never be the same
Umm, umm, mmm

You're still livin' in the days
Done gone past and gone
And memories
Yeah, yeah

You can't live on
In that way
In the past
Them days
Is gone
Gone
