A Woman Or The Blues
Performed by Curtis Salgado

(Well alright. I want to tell you all something about my mother
Well, yeah
She used to tell me, "Someday you're going to have to make a choice.
Going to have to make a choice... between woman and the blues.")

I got something for you, brother, put a question up to you

You see a man comes to a crossroads, deciding which way to go
Either way there's hell to pay; you got to carry the load

Because love will give you heartache, trouble going to beat you down
It's a no-win situation, and buddy it's coming around
It's up to you, whoa, oh, oh
When you choose
A woman or the blues
A woman or the blues

Well, a woman got a motivation, you'll never understand
She'll love you and then leave you, for another man
Hard times they're a given, knock a-right on your door
Long as you're still living, it's something you can't ignore

Because love will give you heartache' trouble going to beat you down
It's a no-win situation, and buddy, it's coming around
It's up to you, whoa oh, oh
When you choose
A woman or the blues
A woman or the blues

(solo)

Well I hope you don't mind me preaching, but I just got to testify
I'm a man with compassion, and I hate to see a another man cry
So I hope you get my message, 'cause I don't want to raise my voice
'Cause I ain't your mother, so listen up, brother,
You're gonna to have to make the choice.

Because love will give you heartache, trouble going to beat you down
It's a no-win situation, and buddy it's coming down
It's up to you, yeah, whoa, oh
When you choose
A woman or the blues (a woman or the blues)

Yeah, yeah (you got to make a choice)
You got to make a choice (a woman or the blues)
A woman or the blues (you got to make a choice)

You got to make a choice (a woman or the blues)
A woman or the blues (you got to make a choice)
(You got to make a choice)
A woman or the blues (you got to make a choice)
You gonna make a choice (a woman or the blues)
You got to, got to make a choice (a woman or the blues)
You gonna have to make a choice (a woman or the blues)

Trouble knocking on your door (knocking on your door)
Trouble knocking on your door (knocking on your door)
Trouble knocking on your door (knocking on your door)

Women give you a hard times (a woman or the blues)
You're gonna have to make a choice (which one comes first?)
I want to know, yeah (which one comes first?)
Whoa, yeah (which one comes first?)
(Which one comes first?)
