Spoken: She out
I wonder, I wonder, people uptown barely up I hear the rooster for a day Now, I to go home An look my in her face
My baby said, 'You bingein' out all night Daddy, comin' in you don't me right' She said, 'You been out all night you come in you don't treat me right' Baby, if you me this time, baby Daddy ever do it, no mo'
I fell on my knees late one evenin' I asked the Good Lord up me for my sin Fell on my knees late one Sunday Ask the Good Lord me for my sin
My sittin' on my knees, crynin' She said, 'Lord, have mercys on my One mo' drink, baby, one mo' Before I bow down on my Baby, just one mo' Just I bow down on my knee I ain't gon' tell ol no lie If I take one now won't no mo'
one Friday evenin' Never forget late one Friday, dark I was on the corner Standin' on Beale and I my babe wit' another man An I got me pint
She said, 'Daddy, I you Wasn't gon' no mo?' I thought you said you wasn't be with no man? Baby, you fuss at me no mo' Baby, you done the thing I'm doing
Now, from now on baby, I'm 'on 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 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
'Play it down, 'Play it while I me another drink'
(piano)
'My had me fooled for a long time But she done me up now, though'
(piano)
'Pour a half-a glass full But I don't pay full'
(piano)
'That's enough to see her good I get home I know what it's all about,
Good-bye, baby, Lookin' at you with 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.
