Alright folks, time to sing a seldom seen song.
[D] It was a song written by a man, Spurn, so please don't take any offense.
He's been [G]
Spurned.
This is what you do when you get Spurned, is you write a song like this.
Anyway, this is a tune called the [D] Mean Mother Blues.

[A] [Bb]
[Em]
[G] [C] [F]
When I got [C] home I found my [F] baby awake.
[Am] Yeah, a little piece of paper [A] said she'd gone [Bb] out to play.
I don't know if your river's done gone dry, [A] she's trapped [Dm] another fly.
[G] I got nothing to [C] do but a few more [F] words to say.
I [C] got the mean woman [Bb] blues, lord [F] knows I do.
[G] I just can't seem to get her [C] off my mind.
[Bb] She's an all night rockin' [F] mother, lord [Dm] knows I love her.
[G] She's leavin' me to [F] ramble on the fly.

[F] [A] [Bb]
[Bb]
[Dm] [G] [C] [F]
When she moved in [C] I kissed the blues [F]
goodbye.
[A] She lit my torch and left the burners [Bb] on high.
[F] Lord, the money that I paid for [A] that livin' lovin' maid, [G] now she left me here [C] to grieve, moan, [F] and cry.
I got [C] the mean woman blues, [Bb]
[F] lord knows I do.
[G] I just can't seem to get her off [D] my mind.
[Bb] She's an all night rockin' mother, [Dm]
lord [D] knows I love her.
[G] She's leavin' me [C] to ramble on [F] the fly.
[A] [Bb]
[G] [C] [F]
If you hear my [C] song you'll notice what [F] I mean.
[A] Lord, I think it's all just a part of the [Bb] woman's scheme.
If you'll find what she sells, [Dm] she'll run you straight [D] to hell.
[G] Captivate your mind [C] and pick your true [F] soul.
I got [C] the mean woman blues, [Dm]
lord [F] knows I do.
[G] I just can't seem to get her off [C] my mind.
Lord, no, [Bb] she's an all night rockin' mother.
[F] She's my flip-top [Dm] package cover.
[G] She's leavin' [C] me to ramble on [F] up the line, off all cards.
