Can’t Be Satisfied
© 2005 by Clint Anglin
Hear that rooster crowin’ – but it ain’t the break of day;
There’s a rooster a crowin’ – and it ain’t the break of day;
He’s got those lonesome blues since his sweet hen flew away.
Lord, I know just why that lonesome rooster cries;
Good God Almighty, I know why that rooster cries;
Because without his baby he can’t be satisfied.
I know now, baby, just why you had to go
Oh I know now, baby, just why you had to go
I love you, baby, but I never told you so.
There ain’t but one woman in this whole wide world for me;
No, ain’t but one woman in this world for me;
If you see my baby please send her home to me.
I don’t eat in the day time, and I can not sleep at night;
I don’t eat in the day time, Lord I never sleep at night;
Without my woman my head ain’t screwed on right.
Well I love you, baby, and you know that ain’t no lie;
Yes, I love you, baby, and you know that ain’t no lie;
But since you been gone, I can’t be satisfied.
