from Do The Boogie! B.B. King's Early 50's Classics (Virgin 39654),

You all have been wonderin', wonderin' why I sing the blues
You all have been wonderin', wonderin' why I sing the blues
Yeah you just listen, and say you're me instead of you

Ah you won't to or you do get married1, to someone for the rest of your life
Ah you won't to or you do get married1, to someone for the rest of your life
Yes and there is always someone else, whenever you out of sight

You get the affection of a servant, the kindness of a slave
You get the affection of a servant, the kindness of a slave
Yeah you get the love of a dog, that can't even hear a word you say

I try to say something people, something just to pacify
I try to say something people, something just to pacify
I might not have lived right all of my life, but people please believe me I've tried

__________
Note 1: I'm not certain of the line "Ah you won't to or you do get married"
