Confessin' the Blues

Confessin' the Blues - Jimmy Witherspoon/Jay McShann and His Band

Baby here I stand before you

With my heart in my hand

I want you to read it mama

Hoping that you'll understand

Mama please don't dog me around

You know I would rather love you baby

More than anyone else in town

Because you're so nice and lovely

And you have such pleasant ways

If you take me to your heart

Be there the rest of my days

That's the truth mama

Honey I declare I wouldn't lie

If I don't love you baby

Whereas I swear I hope I die

Well baby

Don't you want a man like me

Yeah baby

Don't you want a man like me

Do you think about you future

Forget about your used to be

When the days are long and dreary

And the sun refuse to shine

I would never be blue and lonely

If I knew that you were mine

Well baby

When you make everything all right

Can I have you today baby

Or will it be tomorrow night

This is my confession mama

And I'm thrilled by all your charms

And you know that I'm in heaven

When you hold me in your arms

Well baby

Can i have you for myself

You are man for me mama

I don't want nobody else
