Albert Collins: Same Old Thing

(Spoken:
Take a lot a entertainers, sing songs
'Bout the things they experienced in life
Some entertainers sing songs that they-a,
seen other people experience in life
Well, I'm gonna tell you some of the things
I experienced in life)

The old lady got mad with me the other night
Packed that overnight grip
Got the house by myself, just me and the dog. Ha, ha
Sometime ya know that your animal layin' in the floor, lookin'
at you like, say, "Uh, you done messed up buddy"
It's that same old thang

(Sings)
Same old thang, baby where ya been?
Said, same old thing, woman where ya been?

Been gone two days, today
I'm sittin' here all alone
I been waitin' babe
Waitin' by my telephone

Said, same old thing
Woman where ya been?
It's that same old thing
Baby, where ya been?

I been up all night, waitin' in vain
Without you baby, it just ain't the same
Everytime I go through this baby
We play that same old game

Now if I ever catch ya messin' around
Then there's no need to plead
Just send your soul on to heaven
'Cause the rest is home to me

Same old thing, baby where ya been?
It's the same old thing, woman where ya been?
It's the same old thing


Hey!

My patience done run out
My love gone bad
I really started to leave ya woman, but
But you're the best thing I ever had

Same old thing, woman where ya been?
Same old thing, baby where ya been?

I been up all night, waitin' in vain
Without you baby, it just ain't the same
Every time I go through this thing with you
You play that same old game

Now if I ever catch you messin' around
There's no need to plead
Just send your soul on to heaven, haha
'Cause the rest belong to me

Said same old thing, baby where ya been?
Said same old thing, baby
Woman, where ya been?

Spoken:
("I was at Carol's house last night")
No you wouldn't
Carol was over here, her and the baby last night
Where ya gonna be?
Ya gotta find somethin' else baby 'cause you know
I started to leave you, but you the best thing I've ever had
("Then I went by Mollie's house")
No, hell no, Mollie called here lookin' for ya
You've got to come right with me, baby
No wigglin' of the hip
See the same old thing baby

I done told you, no, don't do that to me, no mo'
'Cause I, I love you baby
I'm really in love wit' cha baby
