I'm one of them damnin'
One of the people that told me to do this
I had a rooster cryin' for a day
I had to go home and look my baby in her face
My baby said you been 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 more
I fell on my knees late one sunny evening
I asked the good Lord above forgive me for
my sin
Fell on my knees late one sunny evening
I asked the good Lord above forgive me for my sin
My baby sittin' on my knees cryin' She said Lord have mercy on my man
One more drink baby one more drink Before I bow down on my knees
Baby just one more drink
Just before I bow down on my knees
I ain't gonna tell no master no lie
If I take one I won't drink no more
Late one Friday evening Never
forget late one Friday evening my dog
I was standin' on the corner Standin' on bill and mail
I seen my baby with another man And I got me a pint of gin
She said Dad I thought you wasn't gonna drink no more
I thought you said you wasn't gonna be with no other man
Baby you can't fuss at me no more Baby
you done the same thing now I'm done
Now from now on baby I'm gonna forget you
Baby I'm gonna stay out all night long
That same old Ruth started cryin' for a day I wasn't
ashamed to come home and look at your old face
That same old Ruth started cryin' for a day I wasn't
ashamed to come home and look at your old 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
My baby had me fooled for a long time
But she done woke me up now though
Slow about a half a glass full I don't want no glass full
Just enough to feel good when I get home I know what it's all about
Goodbye baby goodbye Lookin' at you with tears in my eye
Goodbye baby goodbye Lookin' at you with tears in my eye
I don't be back here no more baby I act like a boy but when he gone
