R.l. Burnside Bad Luck City Lyrics

[Spoken]
The name of the song is "Bad Luck City"
Lord, a lotta people don't know about that
'Cause they have never been there
But I've been there, and I know
Lotta times you love them women
And they don't love you
But I have one, and I love the one I have
That's why I tell her every morning, when I wake up
I sit down and tell her these words

[Singing]
Cause I love you, baby
Cause I love you, baby
Love you, promise[?], my old girl
Love you, promise[?], my old girl

[Spoken]
Them women, you know
Lotta times you have them women, they love you too
They'll say the same thing back to you, you said to them

[Singing]
No, I ain't gonna leave you, baby
No, I ain't gonna leave you, baby
Love you, too, baby
Love you, too, baby

[Spoken]
But if there's trouble, problems
When you love them women and they don't love you
Lotta times, I wanted to leave her a lotta times
I been through that problem
But they be so nice to you, you just set down and tell 'em

[Singing]
No, I ain't gonna leave you, baby
No, I ain't gonna leave you, baby
Love you, too, baby
Love your [?], girl [Spoken]
Yeah, but it's trouble, I tell you
When you love them women and they don't love you
You love them, and they tell you one morning
"I got to leave you"
I tell her these words, one more time

[Singing]
Don't leave me, baby
Don't leave me, baby
Don't leave me crying, girl
Don't leave me crying, girl

[Spoken]
Lotta times she feels sorry, y'know?
Say the same things back to me I said to her
I be done started back in the house to close the door
She'll tell me the same words

[Singing]
No, I ain't gonna leave you, baby
No, I ain't gonna leave you, baby
Love you, too, baby
Love you, too, baby

[Spoken]
By that time we got everything settled then
Goin' try to move on
But it's a problem-
But it's a problem-
But it's a problem-
When you love them women and they don't love you

[Spoken]
I know a lotta people don't know about Bad Luck City
'Cause they've never been there
But I been there
And I know about it

[Singing]
Cause I love you, baby
Cause I love you, baby
Love you for myself, girl
Love you for myself, girl
