It Serves You Right To Suffer - John Lee Hooker

It serve you right to suffer

Serve you right to be alone

Serve you right to suffer

Serve you right to be alone

Because you’re still livin'

In days done past and gone

Ev’rytime you see a woman

She make you think of yours

Yeah, ev’rytime you see a woman

She make you think of yours

And that’s why, that’s why, that’s why

You can’t keep from cryin'

Your doctor put you on

Milk, cream and alcohol

Your doctor put you on

Milk, cream and alcohol

He told you that’s why

You can’t sleep at night

From nerves, so bad

Yeah.

Ev’ry time you see a woman

She makes you think of yours

Ev’rytime you see a woman

She make you think of your own

She treated you so bad

You just couldn’t keep from cryin'

Umm, mmm, mmm

Your life never be the same

Umm, umm, mmm

You’re still livin' in the days

Done gone past and gone

And memories

Yeah-yeah

You can’t live on

In that way

In the past

Them days

Is gone

Gone
