My baby said, 'You bingein' out drunk all Daddy, in you don't treat me right' She said, 'You out drunk all night When you in you don't treat me right' Baby, if you forgive me this time, Daddy ever do it, no mo'
I fell on my late one Sunday evenin' I asked the Good up above me for my sin Fell on my knees one Sunday evenin' Ask the Lord above me for my sin
My baby sittin' on my knees, She said, 'Lord, have mercys on my One mo' drink, baby, one mo' Before I bow on my knee Baby, just one mo' before I bow down on my knee I gon' tell ol *Martha no lie If I take one now won't no mo'

(piano)
'My baby had me fooled for a time But she done woke me up now,
(piano)
'Pour about a glass full But I wanna pay full'

'That's enough to see her good I get home I know what it's all about,
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 a blowin' the wind be gone.
