Songtexte I'm Mad Again - John Lee Hooker

I had a friend one time, at least I thought I did
Taken that man in my house, give him my food
Over my table, that I couldn't afford
He come to me, he said "Johnny, ain't got no place to stay"
I said, "Yes, man, come to my house"
I'll get you a place to stay, and a bed to sleep in
That I couldn't afford

When I found out, you with my wife
Now I'm mad, a burden, like Al Capone
When I warned you one time
Next time I warn you
I'm gonna use my gun on you
'Cause I'm mad with ya, ha-ha-ha
I'm mad with ya, like Al Capone

Look, man, I told you one time before
But this time, I'm gonna teach you
A little lesson, you won't forget
Take this man, right down by, the riverside

I might drown you
I might shoot ya
I don't know
Gonna tie your hand, then tie your feet
And gag you so you can't talk to nobody

I'm mad (ghrr), I'm mad with you
You're sinkin', I'm mad
