I wonder, I wonder, While uptown barely up I hear the rooster for a day Now, I to go home An look my baby in her
My baby said, 'You out drunk all night Daddy, comin' in you treat me right' She said, been out drunk all night you come in you don't treat me right' Baby, if you me this time, baby Daddy won't do it, no mo'
I fell on my knees late one Sunday I asked the Lord up above me for my sin Fell on my knees one Sunday evenin' Ask the Lord above me for my sin
My baby on my knees, crynin' She said, 'Lord, have on my man' One mo' drink, baby, one mo' Before I bow down on my Baby, just one mo' Just before I bow on my knee I ain't gon' tell ol no lie If I take one now won't no mo'
Late one evenin' Never forget late one Friday, 'bout I was standin' on the Standin' on Beale and I seen my babe another man An I got me pint

Now, now on baby, I'm 'on forget you Babe, I'm stay out all night long That old rooster started crowin' 'fore a day I wasn't sayin' to home look in yo' own face That same old rooster started crowin' a day I wasn't sayin' to come home an look in yo' own I know for myself, little girl You done the same, old thing
it down, now' 'Play it I take me another drink'
(piano)
'My baby had me fooled for a long But she done me up now, though'

about a half-a glass full But I don't wanna pay
(piano)
'That's to see her good when I get I know what it's all about, then
Good-bye, baby, at you with tears in my eye Good-bye, baby, Lookin' at you with in my eye I don't be back here no mo', As a blowin' the wind be gone.
