Here's the lyrics to that Albert Collins song I mentioned a few days ago:

MY MIND IS TRYING TO LEAVE ME
Albert Collins

I went to breakfast this morning down at the corner bar
I thought I heard my baby call my name and it came from so far
I started running and answering like a crazy fool would do
You see, my woman gone away and left me,
And now my mind is trying to leave me too.

Now my friend stepped out the bar and stopped me and offered me a drink
I went in and had a double and I began to think
About my baby, like a crazy fool would do
You see my woman's gone away and left me,
And now my mind is trying to leave me too.

I went into the barbershop and ordered ham and eggs
And each barber gave me fifty cents - they thought I was trying to beg
And I started crying like a baby, like a baby, like any fool would do
You see my woman's gone away and left me,
And now my mind is trying to leave me too.
