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