[Verse 1]
The worst old blues that I ever had in my life
The worst old blues that I ever had in my life
Are for my man when he goes home to his wife

[Verse 2]
The law gave him to her but he gives himself to me
The law gave him to her but he gives himself to me
He knows just how to love 'cause he's from Memphis, Tennessee

[Verse 3]
A married man will swear that he will love you all his life
A marriеd man will swear that he will love you all his lifе
Then go home and tell that same lie to his wife

[Verse 4]
A married man will cause you to weep and moan
A married man will cause you to weep and moan
'Cause when you want him most, he has got to go to his home

[Verse 5]
People all ask me why I love that man
People all ask me why I love that man
He has a way of lovin' a single man can't understand
