And I'ma leave my unhappy home.

I don't need no tellin', Gal,

'Cause you're trouble, All confused in your mind,
Now, Baby, you just can't be happy,
And I can't get satisfied.

Could end here.

Well I feel like snappin',
Pistol in your face,
I'm gonna let some graveyard,
Lord be your resting place.

Woman, I was troubled, I was all worried in mind,
Well Honey, I could never be satisfied,
And I just couldn't keep from cryin'.

Well I know my little old lady,
She gonna jump and shout,
That old train be late man, man,
And I come walking out.

I be troubled, I be homeward bound,
Well Honey, ain't no way in the world could we be satisfied,
And I just can't keep from crying.

Woman, I'm troubled, I'm homeward bound,
Now, Baby, I just can't be satisfied,
And I just can't keep from crying.

Old chant:

Florence Stamp & Group of Girls, Satisfied. Recorded by Alan Lomax. (The Land Where The Blues Began)

I aint never been,
Satisfied,
I never been,
Satisfied,
Went down in,
Satisfied,
New brown field,
Satisfied,
Rattlesnake bit me,
Satisfied,
On my heel,
Satisfied,
That didn't make me,
Satisfied,
I aint never been,
Satisfied,
Been to the River,
Satisfied,
Been baptized,
Satisfied,
That didn't make me,
Satisfied,
That didn't make me,
Satisfied,
I never been,
Satisfied,
Momma can't make me,
Satisfied,
Pappa can't make me,
Satisfied,
