Peter's Blues

Everything I do, well, tell your monkey man
Everything I tell you, you'll tell your monkey man
But I got something for you he wouldn't understand
Got my head in splints, got my heart in a sling
Got my head in splints, my heart in a sling
Now my woman done left me, she got everything
Let me call you mine, baby, till your regular come
Let me call you mine, baby, till your regular come
And when your regular come, tell him
What a good man done gone

I know you don't love me, you don't mean me no good
I know you don't love me, you don't mean me no good
But I could use you better, if you only understood
Everything I do, everything I plan I fail
Everything I do, everything I plan I fail
And you treat me like a stray dog
With a tin can tied to its tail

Everything I do, well, tell your monkey man
Everything I tell you, you'll tell your monkey man
But I got something for you he wouldn't understand
Got my head in splints, got my heart in a sling
Got my head in splints, my heart in a sling
Now my woman done left me, she got everything
Let me call you mine, baby, till your regular come
Let me call you mine, baby, till your regular come
And when your regular come, tell him
What a good man done gone

I know you don't love me, you don't mean me no good
I know you don't love me, you don't mean me no good
But I could use you better, if you only understood
Everything I do, everything I plan I fail

Everything I do, everything I plan I fail
And you treat me like a stray dog
With a tin can tied to its tail
