Clementine Blues - Lonnie Johnson, Otis Spann

Mean ol' baby, mean ol' baby girl

She’s a mean little baby, she’s a mean little baby girl

When you fall in love with her, she really upsets your world

She’s got a man in every town, heartaches all around

Yes, she’s got a man in every town, all got heartaches all around

When you say baby do I love you, she gets her face all full of frowns

She don’t love no one, she just wants someone to dog around

Yes, she don’t love no one, just wants someone to dog around

You give her your heart and all your money, she calls you an everyday clown

She’s the type you can’t please, I don’t care what you do

She’s the type you can’t please, I don’t care what you do

Give her your heart and soul, she’ll give all your love to two

Yes, you can’t trust her, no farther than you can throw her door

Yes, you can’t trust her, no farther than you can throw your door

Just as soon as you go to work in the mornin', somebody comes into your back

door

Yes, she’s a mean little baby, they call her Clementine

She’s a mean little baby, they calls her Clementine

Her main aim in life, is makin' every good man whine

She’s got such evil little ways, she’ll slip right under you skin

She’s got such cute little ways, she gets right under your skin

And when you need her, she’s slipped out and gone again

Well, if you run across this gal, please throw her out your mind

Well, if you run across this gal, podnah throw it out your mind

'cause she’ll win your love and your heart, she can treat you so unkind

When you start cryin', she’ll be laughin' in your face

When you begin cryin', she starts laughin' in your face

She says, «I didn’t want you anyway, got somebody else in your place.»

You can’t quit her, you don’t want to kill her now

Yes, you don’t want to quit her, yet you can’t let that gal alone

You’ll keep on tryin' to fight, till all your love is gone

She’s a evil little woman, they call her Clementine

Yes, she’s a evil little woman, they call her Clementine

She’ll break you heart baby, there’s no sense in tryin'
