Mean Woman Blues 
Lyrics: Claude DeMetrius
Music: Claude Demetrius

Played by Jerry in the JGB with Nicky Hopkins. Thanks to Matt Schofield for the 
lyrics. 
    We.....ll
    I got a woman, mean as she can be
    I got a woman, mean as she can be
    Sometimes I think, she's almost as mean as me
    
    I [ain't praying, it's understood]
    Everything I do [sure no good]
    
    I got a woman, mean as she can be
    I got a woman, mean as she can be
    Sometimes I think, she's almost as mean as me
    
    Mama told me, [poppa too]
    [??] the death of me
    
    I got a woman, mean as she can be
    I got a woman, mean as she can be
    Sometimes I think, she's almost as mean as me
    
    I got a woman, mean as she can be
    I got a woman, mean as she can be
    Sometimes I think, she's almost as mean as me
    [etc]
    
The Roy Orbison/Elvis Presley versions have different/additional verses: 
    A black cat up and died of fright
    'Cause she crossed his path last night
    
    She kiss so hard, she bruise my lips
    Hurts so good, my heart just flips
    
    The strangest gal I ever had
    Never happy 'less she's mad
    
    She makes love without a smile
    Ooh, hot dog that drives me wild
