Drunk Man's Blues Trk 16 White (Booker T. Washington White) Unknown - piano 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 look my in her face
My baby said, 'You bingein' out drunk all Daddy, comin' in you don't me right' She said, 'You been out all night When you come in you treat me right' Baby, if you me this time, baby Daddy won't do it, no mo'
I fell on my knees late one evenin' I asked the Good up above me for my sin Fell on my late one Sunday evenin' Ask the Good Lord me for my sin
My baby sittin' on my knees, She said, 'Lord, have on my man' One mo' drink, baby, one mo' I bow down on my knee Baby, just one mo' Just before I bow 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, 'bout I was on the corner Standin' on Beale and I seen my babe another man An I got me pint
She said, 'Daddy, I you Wasn't gon' no mo?' I thought you said you gon' be with no man? Baby, you can't at me no mo' Baby, you the same thing I'm doing
Now, from now on baby, I'm 'on you Babe, I'm 'onna stay out all night That same old rooster crowin' 'fore a day I sayin' to come home look in yo' own face same old rooster started crowin' 'fore a day I wasn't sayin' to come home an look in yo' own 'Cause I for myself, little girl You the same, same old thing
it down, now' 'Play it I take 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 wanna pay full'
(piano)
'That's enough to see her good I get home I what it's all about, then
Good-bye, baby, Lookin' at you with in my eye Good-bye, baby, at you with tears in my eye I don't be back no mo', baby As a blowin' the wind be gone.
