Bill Monroe Dog House Blues lyrics

I went downtown, I thought I'd have a good time
Got home this morning, didn't have a dime
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy got them dog house blues
No use talkin', I got the dog house blues

Came home this morning, about half past eight
She said, "Honey you're out too late"
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy got them dog house blues
No use talkin', I got the dog house blues

I told her I'd been fishin' for an excuse
She knows different and it ain't no use
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy got them dog house blues
No use talkin', I got the dog house blues


I went in the house, started the fire
She kicked me out in the middle of the night
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy got them dog house blues
No use talkin', I got the dog house blues

I fell out in the yard, mad as I can be
Said to little doggy, "Make room for me"
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy got them dog house blues
No use barkin', I got the dog house blues
