Spoken: She out
I wonder, I wonder, While people uptown up I the rooster crowin' for a day Now, I hate to go An my baby in her face
My baby said, bingein' out drunk all night Daddy, comin' in you don't treat me She said, 'You been out all night When you come in you don't me right' Baby, if you me this time, baby won't ever do it, no mo'
I fell on my knees one Sunday evenin' I asked the Lord up above me for my sin Fell on my knees late one evenin' Ask the Good above me for my sin
My baby on my knees, crynin' She said, 'Lord, mercys on my man' One mo' drink, baby, one mo' I bow down on my knee Baby, just one mo' Just before I bow on my knee I gon' tell ol *Martha no lie If I take one now drink no mo'
Late one evenin' Never late one Friday, 'bout dark I was on the corner Standin' on and Main I seen my babe another man An I got me a-gin
She said, 'Daddy, I you Wasn't gon' drink no I you said you wasn't gon' be no other man? Baby, you can't at me no mo' Baby, you done the same I'm doing
Now, now on baby, I'm 'on forget you Babe, I'm 'onna stay out all night That same old rooster started 'fore a day I wasn't sayin' to come home look in yo' own That same old rooster started crowin' a day I wasn't sayin' to come an look in yo' own face 'Cause I know for myself, little You the same, same old thing
it down, now' 'Play it while I me another drink'
(piano)
'My baby had me for a long time But she done woke me up now,
(piano)
'Pour about a half-a glass But I wanna pay full'
(piano)
'That's to see her good when I get home I know it's all about, then
Good-bye, baby, at you with tears in my eye Good-bye, baby, Lookin' at you tears in my eye I don't be back here no mo', As like a the wind be gone.
