Kind Hearted Woman

Robert Johnson

  Live, Gaslight Café, NYC - 15.oct.1962  

I got a kind-hearted woman, studies evil all the time
I got a kind-hearted woman, studies evil all the time
Oh she wants to kill me, just to have it all of mine.

She's got a 32 special, built on a cross of wood
She's got a 32 special, built on a cross of wood
I got a 38/20, man it's twice as good.

Sometimes I'm thinkin', you're too good to die
Sometimes I'm thinkin', you're too good to die
Other times I'm thinkin', you oughtta be buried alive.

Robert Johnson's version, Nov. 1936, take 1

I got a kind-hearted woman, do anything in this world for me
I got a kind-hearted woman, do anything in this world for me
But these evil-heated women man, they will not let me be.

I love my baby, my baby don't love me
I love my baby, my baby don't love me
But i realy love that woman, can't stand to leave her be.

Ain't but the one thing, makes Mister Johnson drink
I's worried about how you treat me, baby, i begin to think
Oh babe, my life don't feel the same
ou breaks my heart when you call Miter So-and-so's name.

She's a kind-hearted woman, she studies evil all the time
She's a kind-hearted woman, she studies evil all the time
You well's to kill me as to have it on your mind.
