(Verse I)
My woman pushed me.
You know I simply lost control.
My woman pushed me.
You know I simply lost control.
I hit her with my powerhouse,
Knocked the girl out, Stone cold.

(V II)
You know I kicked my woman,
Kicked her whilst she was down there on the floor.
Mm-mm-mm!
I kicked my woman,
Kicked her whilst she was down there on the floor.
Sometime durin' the night she's come to herself and,
Walked right on out the door.

(Bridge)
Well now if she wouldn't push me,
I wouldn't have to treat her this a' way.
If I could control my temper,
I wouldn't have to see her go away.
If A Frog Had Wings,
He wouldn't bump himself,
Every time he tried to hop away.

(V III)
My woman pushed me.
You know I must have lost my mind.
My woman pushed me.
You know I must have lost my mind.
Now she's out there in another man's arms,
Doin' what she used to do in mine.
I know she is. Ain't it a bitch?

A rockin' blues, with the violence toward a woman I thought I was hearing in old blues masters' songs. They were always gonna' get a shotgun and fix that woman good. I heard later that was code for getting their landlords who took advantage of them as sharecroppers, or other abusive men in their lives who they couldn't safely threaten, even in a Song. My grandfather Elzie Baldridge was a sharecropper in Prestonsburg, Kentucky, and a coal miner. In the Song "Give Thanks! Give Thanks!" I express my gratitude that he brought his family out of that Predatory Capitalism environment to the freer land of Ohio in 1939.
