Hen Pecked

Somebody asked me the other night, said, "Bobby Rush

Why you work two jobs and bring all your money

And just give it to your woman?"

Well, I do that because that's the way a man supposed to do

A man supposed to get out of work

And bring all his money and give it to his woman

Then if he wants to go out

He supposed to say, "May I go out tonight?

And may I have five dollars of my money to spend with the boys?"

Heh, at least that's the way I do

Somebody else asked me, said, "Well, if you do that

You must be a henpecked dude anyway"

Well, let me tell you something right now

I'm not henpecked

I just been pecked by the right hen

Listen, let me tell you this

Some folks say my woman don't love me

Says she don't mean me no good

They just jealous of what I got to do the same thing if they could

I ain't thinking 'bout you, I don't care what you say

A fella walked up to me last night, said, "Bobby Rush

I heard a fella said to me last night

Said, "Bobby Rush for 50 dollars

I'll tell you everything your woman been doing

While you was gone

And for 50 more dollars, I'll tell you who she did it with"

Let me tell you this

I don't want you to tell me nothing

I don't wanna know too much

Just like the old folks used to say

What you don't know sure can't hurt

I ain't thinking 'bout you
