Lyrics
Blood, blood, blood, look at all that blood
Blood, blood, blood, look at all that blood
You know I killed my man, a low-down, good-for-nothin’ cud
I told him blood was in my eyes, and still he wouldn’t listen at me
I told him blood was in my eyes, and still he wouldn’t listen at me
Instead of givin’ him sugar, I put glass in his tea
You know I ain’t a saint, folks, you can put me down and let me walk
You know I ain’t a saint, folks, you can put me down and let me walk
You know i’m a mighty mean woman, and I won’t stand for no back talk
The only man I ever loved, I done sent him to his ruin
The only man I ever loved, I done sent him to his ruin
You know I’m bloodthirsty, from wonderin’ what my poor man’s doin
