'Fore Day Blues (11-14-39) - Louis Jordan

'Fore day in the mornin', babe

You ain’t got home yet

Hmm, it’s 'fore day in the mornin', babe

You ain’t got home yet

I cried and cried

'Til my pillow’s soaking wet!

Babe, I can’t get started

Since you threw me down

Hmmm, I can’t get started

Since you threw me down

I thought you were the square, babe

And you played me for a clown

I loved you, baby

But you don’t mean me no good

Hmmm, I loved you, baby

But you don’t mean me no good

You give me so much trouble

I believe I move from your neighborhood!
