Confidential Blues - Ida Cox

This is confidential that I'll tell to you

'Cause I know that you have trouble

Just the same as all folks do

Oh it's about this world and the folks herein

It's about women and deceivin' men

All that I'll tell you folks

I've paid so dear to know

I once loved a man better than

Any man I'd seen

I said I've once loved a man better than

Any man I'd seen

I couldn't help but love him he treated me

Like a queen

Lord I left my home thinkin'

I would be his bride

Lord I left my home thinkin'

I would be his bride

But he ** me around

And now he's thrown me aside

Lord I went to Europe was

'Bout to be a good man's wife

Lord I went to Europe was 'Bout to be a

Good man's wife

But 'long came somebody and told him all of my past life

I mean I mean it people please don't spread the news

I said goodbye people please don't spread the news

'Cause everything I've told you is strictly confidential blues
