single, 1952
Written by Eddie Boyd
Buzzy sax and piano make this a barrelhouse blues classic. The narrator has worked "five long years for one woman, then she had the nerve to put me out." It took me a bit to realize that the woman wasn't his boss, but the lady he went home to after his job. He worked on her behalf, but she dumped him anyway. His lesson? "The next woman I marry, she gotta have two jobs / And she gotta go out and work long and bring some dough home."
