When I saw you last week,
Your eyes were turning black.
Go find the guy that beat you up.
Ask him to take you back.
Bloodshot Eyes--Wynonie Harris (1951)
Last night, I went out drinking.
When I came home, I gave her a beating.
So she catched up the rolling pin
And went to work on my head till she bashed it in.
