It’s a cryin' pity
Lowdown, dirty shame
It’s a cryin' pity
Lowdown, dirty shame
Crazy 'bout a no-good woman
'Fraid to call her name
Now, where were you, babe
When I knocked upon yo' do'?
'Out late last night'
Where were you, babe
When I knocked upon yo' do'?
You had a nerve, tell po' Tommy
That you couldn’t use me no mo'
But that’s alright, babe
Got to reap what you sow
That’s alright, babe
Got to reap just what you sow
But don’t forget that night
An I knocked upon yo' do'
Now, I done some-un' last winter
No expect to do it no mo'
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Done some-un' last winter
No expect to do it no mo'
Quit the best woman I had
An I drove her from my do'
But forgive me, baby
Won’t do wrong no mo'
Forgive me, baby
Swear I won’t do wrong, no mo'
You can get all my lovin'
But you gotta let that blind man go Now, I love you, baby
I don’t see whys I should
Now, I love you, baby
Don’t see whys I should
'Cause you g’won wit' the man
That live right in my neighbor’h.
