Drunk Man's 4:01 Trk 16 Bukka White (Booker T. White) Unknown personnel - 1963 Memphis, Tennessee [email protected]
Spoken: She out
I wonder, I wonder, While people barely up I hear the crowin' for a day Now, I hate to go An my baby in her face
My baby said, 'You out drunk all night Daddy, comin' in you treat me right' She said, 'You been out drunk all When you come in you don't me right' Baby, if you forgive me this time, 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, mercys on my man' One mo' drink, baby, one mo' I bow down on my knee Baby, just one mo' before I bow down on my knee I gon' tell ol *Martha no lie If I one now won't drink no mo'
Late one evenin' Never forget late one Friday, dark I was standin' on the Standin' on and Main I seen my 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 can't at me no mo' Baby, you done the same thing I'm
Now, now on baby, I'm 'on forget you Babe, I'm 'onna out all night long That same old rooster crowin' 'fore a day I wasn't to come home look in yo' own face That old rooster started crowin' 'fore a day I wasn't to come home an look in yo' own face I know for myself, little girl You the same, same old thing
'Play it down, 'Play it I take me another drink'
(piano)
'My baby had me fooled for a time But she woke me up now, though'
(piano)
'Pour about a half-a full But I don't wanna pay
(piano)
'That's enough to see her when I get I know what it's all about, then
Good-bye, baby, Lookin' at you tears in my eye Good-bye, baby, at you with tears in my eye I don't be back here no mo', As like a the wind be gone.
