Next Door Neighbor Blues Lyrics

Got a call from my neighbor this morning
Told me that my baby was gone
Got a call from my neighbor this morning
Told me that my baby was gone

Took the keys to my cadillac
Left my clothes out all alone

Came home last night
With a pistol pointed at my head
Came home last night
With a pistol pointed at my head

Said, "You better fess up, oh boy
Or I swear I'm gonna shoot you dead

I didn't know something was wrong
Somethin' wrong been going on
I should've known
I didn't know somethin' been going wrong

When my neighbor called, oh yeah
I found out that little girl was staying next door

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
