When I woke up this morning
I wasn't in my bed
You know I had an itchy itch feeling
Running round my head

I looked at my watch
And this is what it said
You got them dawghouse blues
Got them in your shoes

Boy you know you're bound to lose
Well I got up
And header home right away
You know I was wondering

Why my baby would say
She said wait!
She said wait!
Well you been out all night

Got into a fight
And now you got them dawghouse blues
I said baby baby baby
Baby please don't go

I said baby baby baby
There's something you should know
Well that trick you do
It's not so new

Someday them dawghouse blues are gonna
Get to you
You know my woman was waitin'
Stick in hand

She beat me good (whew)
Now I don't understand
I thought there was freedom
In this here land

I got them dawghouse blues
Got 'em in my shoes
Man you know I'm gonna lose
I said
I said
