My Woman Ran Off With The Garbage Man

Johnny Adams (1932-1998) was an American blues singer with a great multi-octave singing voice. He is probably best known for his version of Release Me in 1968. One of his lesser-known songs was Garbage Man, played in the video above. I just love the lyrics and, since they are hard to find on the Internet, I've written them out below (at some point I'd also like to write out the blues guitar solo):

You know my baby, she ran off with the garbage man,
I ain't goin' worry 'bout it.

Lord, my baby, she ran off with the garbage man,
Yes she did.

Won't you come on home to me woman,
I need you to empty my trash can.

You know my woman, she ran off with my hard-earned cash,
Yes she did.

Oh my woman, she ran off with my hard earned cash.

I'm not worried about my money woman,
I just need you to empty my trash.

I don't know where you've been,
And I don't know where you're goin'.

I don't know where you've been,
And I don't know where you're goin'.

Come on home to me baby,
Cause my garbage can is overflowin'.

[Guitar Solo]

You know my baby, she ran off with my hard-earned cash,

My, my, my baby, she ran off with my hard earned cash.

I'm not worried about my money woman,

Oh I need you to empty my trash.

You know my baby, she ran off with the garbage man.

My, my baby, she ran off with the garbage man.

Won't you come on home to me woman,

Oh I need you to empty my trash can.

Oh, Yeah, Yeah.
