Van Morrison Madame Butterfly Blues Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Did you ever love a woman
So bad your heart cried mercy please?
Did you ever love a woman
So bad your heart cried mercy please?
Did you go down to her garden
Fell down on your knees?

[Verse 2]
Is she young? Is she pretty?
Does she like to get around?
Well, well, is she young? Is she pretty?
Does she like to get around?
You come in here lookin' for her
She's on the other side of town

[Chorus]
Well, well, well, better put on, better put on
Better put on your walkin' shoes
Better put on, you better put on
Better put on your walkin' shoes
Kiss, kiss goodbye, kiss goodbye
The madame butterfly blues
Alright, alright

[Interlude]
Alright
Yeah

[Verse 3]
When your train's bound for Heaven
Temptation's always so close at hand
When your train, when your train's bound for Heaven
Temptation's always close at hand
Because the devil's out to get you, devil's out to get you
Any goddamn way that he can That's why, that's why

[Chorus]
You better put on, better put on, put on
Better put on your walkin' shoes, walkin' shoes, walkin' shoes
You better put on, better put on
Better put on your walkin' shoes, walkin' shoes
Kiss goodbye, kiss goodbye, kiss goodbye
Madame butterfly blues, say it again
Better put on, better put on
Better put on your walkin' shoes
Better put on, better put on
Better put on your walkin' shoes
Kiss, kiss, kiss goodbye, kiss goodbye, kiss goodbye
The madame butterfly blues
We're gonna go one
We're gonna go one more time, one more time
Better, better, better put on, ow, better put on, haha
Better put on your walkin' shoes, walkin' shoes, walkin' shoes
Better, better, better put on, put on, put on, put on
Better put on your walkin' shoes, walkin' shoes, walkin' shoes, walkin' shoes
Kiss, kiss, kiss goodbye
The madame butterfly
Madame butterfly, madame butterfly blues
