Drunk Man's 4:01 Trk 16 Bukka (Booker T. Washington White) Unknown - piano 1963 Memphis, Tennessee [email protected]
Spoken: She out
I wonder, I wonder, While uptown barely up I hear the rooster for a day Now, I hate to go An my baby in her face
My baby said, 'You bingein' out drunk all Daddy, comin' in you treat me right' She said, 'You been out drunk all When you come in you treat me right' Baby, if you forgive me this time, won't ever 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 late one Sunday evenin' Ask the Good Lord me for my sin
My sittin' on my knees, crynin' She said, 'Lord, mercys on my man' One mo' drink, baby, one mo' Before I bow on my knee Baby, one mo' drink Just I bow down on my knee I ain't gon' tell ol no lie If I one now won't drink no mo'
one Friday evenin' Never forget one Friday, 'bout dark I was standin' on the 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 you said you wasn't gon' be with no man? Baby, you can't at me no mo' Baby, you done the same I'm doing
Now, now on baby, I'm 'on forget you Babe, I'm stay out all night long That same old rooster crowin' 'fore a day I wasn't sayin' to come look in yo' own face same old rooster started crowin' 'fore a day I sayin' to come home an look in yo' own face I know for myself, little girl You done the same, old thing
it down, now' 'Play it 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 glass But I wanna pay full'
(piano)
enough to see her good when I get home I know it's all about, then
Good-bye, baby, Lookin' at you with in my eye Good-bye, baby, Lookin' at you tears in my eye I don't be here no mo', baby As like a the wind be gone.
