Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My heart has been broken
And all of my love's in vain
Heart has been broken
And all of my love's in vain
[Verse 2]
But the people's always told me
That a woman was the glory of a man
[Verse 3]
If you whip her when she need it
The judge will not let you explain
Whip her when she need it
The judge will not let you explain
[Verse 4]
Because he believe in justice
And a woman is the glory of a man
[Verse 5]
I'd rather be tied out on the desert
Right out in the fallin' rain
Tied out on the desert
Right out in the fallin' rain
[Verse 6]
And to lose my baby
She is the glory of a man
Written by: Sonny Boy Williamson II
