Elmore James
One Way Out (Live at the Fillmore East, 1971)
[Verse 1]
Ain't but one way out, baby, Lord, I just can't go out the door
Ain't but one way out, baby, and Lord, I just can't go out the door
'Cause there's a man down there, might be your man, I don't know

[Verse 2]
Lord, you got me trapped, woman, up on the second floor
If I get by this time, I won't be trapped no more
So raise your window, baby, I can ease out soft and slow
And Lord, your neighbors, no they won't be talking that stuff that they don't know

[Bridge]
Yeah, uh, put your hands together

[Verse 3]
Lord, I'm foolish to be here on the first place
I know some man gon' walk in and take my place, and
Ain't no way in the world I'm going out that front door
'Cause there's a man down therе, might be your man, I don't know

[Outro]
'Cause therе's a man down there, might be your man, I don't know
'Cause there's a man down there, Lord, it just might happen to be your man
Oh, and it just-a might be your man, mm-mm-mm-mm, hm-hm
Lord, it just-a might be your man, oh, baby, I just don't know
Oh, you tell me
