Lonnie Johnson - Go Back To Your No Good Man (1932) lyrics

rate me

It’s true you bake good jelly rolls, the best I’ve ever found.

It’s true you bake good jelly rolls, it’s the best I’ve ever found.

But it’s one thing you got ta stop mama, that’s servin’ it all over town.

Don’t you think because I love you, you can play me for a chump right to my face.

Now, you think because I love you, you can play me for a chump right to my face.

But I’m not as dumb as you think, here’s another woman to fill your place.

Give me them clothes I bought you, take my diamonds off your hand.

Give me them clothes I bought you, take my diamonds off your hand.

Now, you just like I found you, go back to your handy man.

Now, I put shoes on your feet when your bare feet was pattin’ the ground.

I put shoes on your feet when your bare feet was pattin’ the ground.

While I was out slavin’ for you, you was chasin’ every rat in town.

Now woman I stuck with you, when you didn’t have a friend at all.

Woman I stuck by you, when you didn’t have a friend at all.

So give me them shoes I bought you last week, and let your head go bald.
