Spoken: She out
I wonder, I wonder, While uptown barely up I the rooster crowin' for a day Now, I to go home An my baby in her face
My baby said, bingein' out drunk all night Daddy, comin' in you don't treat me She said, been out drunk all night you come in you don't treat me right' Baby, if you me this time, baby won't ever do it, no mo'
I fell on my knees one Sunday evenin' I asked the Good Lord up me for my sin Fell on my late one Sunday evenin' Ask the Lord above me for my sin
My baby on my knees, crynin' She said, 'Lord, have mercys on my One mo' drink, baby, one mo' Before I bow down on my Baby, one mo' drink Just before I bow down on my I gon' tell ol *Martha no lie If I one now won't drink no mo'
Late one evenin' Never late one Friday, 'bout dark I was standin' on the Standin' on and Main I seen my babe wit' 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 stay out all night long That same old rooster started 'fore a day I wasn't sayin' to come home in yo' own face That same old rooster crowin' 'fore a day I wasn't to come home an look in yo' own face 'Cause I for myself, little girl You done the same, same old
it down, now' 'Play it I take me another drink'
(piano)
'My had me fooled for a long time But she woke me up now, though'
(piano)
about a half-a glass full But I don't wanna pay
(piano)
'That's to see her good when I get home I what it's all about, then
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.
