Align:    
  • Spoken: She stuck out
  • I wonder, I wonder, baby
  • While people uptown barely up
  • I hear the rooster crowin' for a day
  • Now, I hate to go home
  • An look my baby in her face
  • My baby said, 'You bingein' out drunk all night
  • Daddy, comin' in you don't treat me right'
  • She said, 'You been out drunk all night
  • When you come in you don't treat me right'
  • Baby, if you forgive me this time, baby
  • Daddy won't ever do it, no mo'
  • I fell on my knees late one Sunday evenin'
  • I asked the Good Lord up above
  • Forgive me for my sin
  • Fell on my knees late one Sunday evenin'
  • Ask the Good Lord above
  • Forgive me for my sin
  • My baby sittin' on my knees, crynin'
  • She said, 'Lord, have mercys on my man'
  • One mo' drink, baby, one mo' drink
  • Before I bow down on my knee
  • Baby, just one mo' drink
  • Just before I bow down on my knee
  • I ain't gon' tell ol *Martha no lie
  • If I take one now won't drink no mo'
  • Late one Friday evenin'
  • Never forget late one Friday, 'bout dark
  • I was standin' on the corner
  • Standin' on Beale and Main
  • I seen my babe wit' another man
  • An I got me pint a-gin
  • She said, 'Daddy, I thought you
  • Wasn't gon' drink no mo?'
  • I thought you said you wasn't gon' be
  • with no other man?
  • Baby, you can't fuss at me no mo'
  • Baby, you done the same thing I'm doing
  • Now, from now on baby, I'm 'on forget you
  • Babe, I'm 'onna stay out all night long
  • That same old rooster started crowin' for a day
  • I wasn't sayin' to come home look in yo' own face
  • That same old rooster started crowin' for a day
  • I wasn't sayin' to come home an look in yo' own face
  • 'Cause I know for myself, little girl
  • You done the same, same old thing
  • 'Play it down, now'
  • 'Play it while I take me another drink'
  • (piano)
  • 'My baby had me fooled for a long time
  • But she done woke me up now, though'
  • (piano)
  • 'Pour about a half-a glass full
  • But I don't wanna pay full'
  • (piano)
  • 'That's enough to see her good when
  • I get home I know what it's all about, then
  • Good-bye, baby, good-bye
  • Lookin' at you with tears in my eye
  • Good-bye, baby, good-bye
  • Lookin' at you with tears in my eye
  • I don't be back here no mo', baby
  • As like a blowin' the wind be gone.
  • ~
