Back Door Blues

Lyrics

I took the front door in But I had to take the back door out I took the front door in But I had to take that back door out I was sleeping very peacefully When all of a sudden, I heard a shout Now, I grabbed my clothes Didn't even take time to dress I grabbed my hat, my coat, my shoes And my money of course I didn't even take time to dress Yes, I was running so fast I didn't even have time to rest I ran through the alley I cut across the lot I took a quick look behind me But then I heard the shot I kept runnin' to my house Put the lock on the door That woman had a husband I'm not going back there anymore I thought she was my woman But she was somebody else's wife I took the front door in And I almost most my life I ran through the alley Cut across the lot Took a quick look behind me But then I heard the shotgun I kept runnin' to my house Put three or four locks on the door That woman had a husband, a big one too! I'm not going back there anymore I thought she was my woman But she was somebody else's wife I took the front door in And I almost most my life
