Babe, I’m on my last go round

An I hate to say, 'Good-bye'

Babe, I’m on my last go round

But it’s time to say, 'Good-bye'

Since you did what you wanna do

Babe, an I guess you satisfied

Since you got me grievin'

Babe, an I’m scared to say, 'Good-bye'

You got me grievin'

Babe, an I’m scared to say, 'Good-bye'

Well, I got to leave you, baby

And it ain’t no use to cryin'

You stared me to drinkin'

Babe, a-drinkin' both night an day

An you started me to drinkin'

Babe, and runnin' from town to town

You know I had a good woman

But you made her throw me down

'Yeah!'

(piano, guitar, drums)

Babe, you make me drunk on Sunday

Just to play me for yo' clown

Babe, you’ll make me drunk on Sunday

Just to play me for yo' clown

Babe, you know I meant you only good

But you tryin' to tear me down
