"Matter Of Time Blues" lyrics

Tell me why, tell me why, love has got to hurt so bad
Tell me why, tell me why, why love has got to hurt so bad
It's the worst low down sinking feeling I believe I've ever had

Tell me where, tell me where, where's my next meal gonna come?
Tell me where, tell me where, lord, where's my next meal gonna come?
She left me starving like a poor child and I don't know if I can carry on

Every night now, every night I gots to sleep alone
Every night now, every night I gots to sleep alone
I got no one knocking on my front door, no one calling on my telephone

She took the money from my bank account, she took the keys to my car
She took the money from my bank account, she took the keys to my car
She said, I'll see you round, honey, but I'll know you ain't gonna get too far

She got a man down in poole town, he be working in the coal mine
She find her a brand new man down in poole town, he be working out in the coal mine
He better put a bull dog at the back door, lord, you know it's just a matter of time
