De Kalb blues, Lord, make me feel so bad
De Kalb blues, Lord, make me feel so bad
Get to thinkin' 'bout the time which I've had

Women want the powder and the string and comb
Women want the powder and the string and comb
Honey, these De Kalb women would not have a home

When I was with ya, it was a golden time
When I was with ya, it was a golden time
Now the day's long, babe, and you weigh on my mind

De Kalb blues, Lord, make me feel so bad
De Kalb blues, babe, make me feel so bad
Makes me think about the time which I've had

You like walkin', you like stoppin', yeah
You like walkin', you like stoppin', yeah
Have to find some woman, babe, that'll be my cure

See, my baby, see what you've done done
See, my woman, she what you've done done
You made me love you and now you're dead and gone
