Sung in call and response with the above riff:
I got up this morning
Put on my shoes
Tied my shoes
Went to the mirror
For to comb my head
I made a move
Didn't know what to do
Try to break and run

I left Angola
1964
Walking down my street
Knock on my baby's door
My baby come out
And asks me who I am
And I say, honey, honey
Don't you know your man?

She said my man's been gone
Since 1942
And I'll tell you Mr. Ugly,
He didn't look like you


[5] Outro -
Intro riff x8 with call and response improv. on E blues.

Reasonably sure this is all right.

Be cool,
