"This song was written by John Lee Hooker. About his wife her name is Maudie. Everytime he has an arguement with her. He has to write a new verse to keep her happy. He was over here at London a short while back. And he taught me this song .......?". Oh Maudie baby I love you. Mmm baby I love you. Yeah you've been gone so long. Girl I miss you so. Oh Maudie why did you hurt me?. Mmm Maudie I said why did you hurt me?. You know I need your sweet lovin' like a flower needs the rain. Sometimes when they'd have an argument. He'd take her by the hand and say. "Maudie you know I love you. You know I need you. And I got just one thing to say babyâ€¦.ho!". Hey Maudie baby don't you know I love you. Oh Maudie I said baby don't you know I love you. I've been gone so long God I miss you so much. Sometimes Johns old lady. She'd turn around to him and say. "John if you don't quit your messin' around baby. I'm gonna walk right outta that door. With my bag in my hand.". John would say "Hey!". Well Maudie sweet little girl baby.
