I was reminded of a few blues songs and I don't see any of them on the site.
Does anyone know songs with these lines?

1) You got the right key but you're workin'on the wrong keyhole.

2) My man is a handyman.

3) You've got your ________ in my bowl. I can't remember what's in the blank. I never heard this one but someone was asking me if I could play it.

Alberta Hunter has a great version of this on her Amtrak Blues recording.

I don't recall the whole thing, but it's definitely one of my favorites.

If the handyman is a line from the Ethel Waters' song My Handy Man, you can find the words at: Blues Lyrics Online - My Handy Man
