I lifted a lot of the ideas for this song directly from the big book of blues idioms and then did my best to make fun of them. In my head I hear a big jug band and gang vocals. Maybe one day.

lyrics
I got a woman and she can't be satisfied,
You know I got a woman and she can't be satisfied
Bake me beans up when I'm hungry, give me water when I'm dry
You'll see a smile on my face about ten miles wide
But my woman, can't be satisfied.
Ch: She's got feelings, feelings,
well my baby can't shake them feelings,
And once you get around to missing me
You'll come running on home you'll see
Running on home to me
Well they say whiskey straight can drive your blues away
Oh they told me whiskey gonna drive my blues away
But I've been drinking, I've been drinking, I've been drinking for days
My vision's gone but that girl's here to stay
And they said whiskey would drive my blues away.
Well a little bit of loving never did nobody harm
Oh a little bit of loving never did nobody harm
But my heart's palpitating and I can't feel my arms
How'd I fall in to that young woman's charms
When a little bit of loving never did nobody harm.
