Mother-In-Law Blues

(альбом: Left My Blues In San Francisco - 1967)

I'm in love with you, baby
But your mother, she's got the mood
I'm in love with you, baby
But your mother, she got the mood
I just, I just can't help myself
Lord, I got those mother-in-law blues

Whenever I'd go for a ride in the country
She wants to ride along too
I had to trade and get a sports car
With bucket seats just for two

Whenever I get a phone call
I bet your 5 against your 10
That she's on the extension line
Just trying to listen in

Whenever I try to watch television
And get me some peace of mind
I bet she's up to walk in my room
And twist to channel 9

A man's home is supposed to be his castle
Where he is supposed to be the king
But as long as this woman is in my house
Our love won't be a thing

I'm in love with you, baby
But your mother, Lord, she's got the mood
I just, I just can't help myself
Lord, I got those mother-in-law blues

Oh yeah
Lord don't you know
I got those
I got those mother-in-law blues
