My woman, she done left me, My wife, she may go too. I shake my head and wonder What am I going to do? I got the busted knee blues. Yeah, the busted knee blues. I’d get down on my knees and pray But that, I can not do. I limp around the house at night I limp into my bed. My wife say she don’t do no limp; And that is all she said. It’s the busted knee blues, Yeah, **** busted knee blues! I’d get down on my knees and pray. But that, I can not do. I shook my cane at God on high! But He was not amused - He lit my cane wit lightning And now I’m all confused! I got the busted knee blues. Yeah man, the busted knee blues. I’d get down on my knees and pray. But that, I can not do. I’d get down on my knees and pray But you know Lord, that I can not do.

Busted Knee Blues
My woman, she done left me, My wife, she may go too. I shake my head and wonder What am I going to do? I got the busted knee blues. Yeah, the busted knee blues. I’d get down on my knees and pray But that, I can not do. I limp around the house at night I limp into my bed. My wife say she don’t do no limp; And that is all she said. It’s the busted knee blues, Yeah, **** busted knee blues! I’d get down on my knees and pray. But that, I can not do. I shook my cane at God on high! But He was not amused - He lit my cane wit lightning And now I’m all confused! I got the busted knee blues. Yeah man, the busted knee blues. I’d get down on my knees and pray. But that, I can not do. I’d get down on my knees and pray But you know Lord, that I can not do.
