MUDDY WATERS lyrics - I Got A Rich Man's Woman

(McKinley Morganfield a. k.a. Muddy Waters)



Oh yeah, the woman she's livin' on a poor man's pay,

I bought my babe a mink coat,

With fur just to match her hair

When I asked her out for dinner,

She said, "Oh this is just common wear"

I work hard on two jobs,

And I make overtime every day

Oh, you know I got a, I got a rich man's woman,

But she's livin' on a poor man's pay



I bought my babe a Cadillac,

She said, "That's just a common gift"

When she passes me walkin' on the streets,

She refuse to give me a lift

I told you I work hard on two jobs,

And I make overtime every day

Oh, you know I got a, I got a rich man's woman,

But she's living on a poor man's pay



There ain't no use for you to argue,

Just go ahead and let the girl have her way

Even if she's a rich man's woman,

And I know she's livin' on a poor man's pay

I told you I work hard on two jobs,

And I make overtime every day

Oh, you know I know I got myself a rich mans woman,

But the woman she's livin' on a poor man's pay
