"Shut Your Mouth" — the blues man's most direct silencing request.
I work hard everyday
Do the same at night
But still my baby
Ain't treating me right
Tell me baby baby baby baby
What can I do?
Do I have to shut your mouth
Just to get along with you?
When I'm home at night
I can't read a book
Without you being huffed up
Giving me a dirty look
Tell me baby baby baby baby
What can I do?
Do I have to shut your mouth
Just to get along with you?
She's so jealous, man
Till it's a sin
She don't even trust me
Out with men
Tell me baby baby baby baby
What can I do?
Do I have to shut your mouth
Just to get along with you?
