Drunk Man's Blues
Bukka White

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' 'fore a day

I wasn't sayin' to come home look in yo' own face

That same old rooster started crowin' 'fore 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.
