Maudie Lyrics - Animalisms - The Animals

"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 baby....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, 

Oh Maudie, be my sweet little girl, baby, 

When you touch my hand 

My head is all in a whirl now baby 

I love you Maudie 

I said I love you Maudie 

Oh, love you Maudie 

Ooh, love you Maudie 

You know I need, I need, I need, need, yeah 

I said Maudie, baby, I love you 

Oh Maudie, baby, I love you 

I love you Maudie 

You've been gone so long, 

How I've missed you too much 

I love you.
