It Hurts Me Too

by Elmore James recording of late 1962, early 1963, New York City from Elmore James King Of The Slide Guitar - The Fire/Fury/Enjoy Recordings (Capricorn 9 42006 2) You said you was hurtin', you almost lost your mind Now, the man you love, he hurt you all the time But, when things go wrong, ooh, wrong with you, it hurts me too You'll love him more when you should love him less Why lick up behind him and take his mess But when things go wrong, whoa, wrong with you, it hurts me too He love another woman, yes, I love you But, you love him and stick to him like glue When things go wrong, ooh, wrong with you, it hurts me too Now, he better leave you or you better put him down No, I won't stand to see you pushed around But, when things go wrong, ooh, wrong with you, it hurts me too

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
