John Lee Hooker - I'm Mad Again Lyrics

I had a friend one time, at least I thought I did
Taking that man in my house, give him my food
Over my table that I couldn't afford

He come to me, he said, "Johnny, I ain't got no place to stay"
I said, "Yes man, come to my house, I get you a place to stay
And a bed to sleep in that I couldn't afford"

When I found out you're with my wife
Now I'm mad about it like Al Capone
Well, I warned you one time, next time I warn you
Gonna use my gun on you 'cause I'm mad with you
I'm mad with you like Al Capone

Look man, I told you one time before
But this time 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 you, I don't know

Gonna tie your hand, gonna tie your feet
And gag your throat, well, you can't talk to nobody
I'm mad, I'm mad with you, you're sinking, I'm mad
