Beggin Back

Oh, my baby, take me back
 Why won't take me back?
 Listen here, mama, I'll be good
 Make your fire and cut your wood
 When I had you, you wouldn't do
 I got another and I don't want you
 Oh, go on old joker, every time it gets cold
 You commence to beggin' me to take you back
 You know I don't care anything for you
 Why do you worry me so?
 You treats me like, like you uh fixin' to leave me now
 Baby, now I wants to tell you
 You ain't been actin' right for the last thirty days
 Now, and when I come home after noon my meals is not ready
 And you know how I'm a man who can't stand such as that
 I want to eat when eating time comes
 And shu-sugar, now listen here, you sure is worrying my mind
 I want you to stop that because you
 Gon', you gonna find everything outdoors
 Every evening, half past eight
 I'm laying around rich man's gate
 Workin' and studying, thinkin' out the plan
 How to get that biscuit out that rich man's hand
 Rich man's hand, rich man's hand
 How to get that biscuit out the rich man's hand
 Listen women, tell me what in the world is the matter with you
 You is actin' awful funny, gal, you actin' plumb naughty
 Now listen, I'm gonna tell you one thing, I ain't gonna tell you no more
 You've gotta use a new system, baby,
 The way you've been actin' the last thirty days
 Now, if you don't, tonight when you come home you'll find a moon wagon
 At your gate and your clothes at the front gate
 And the man sittin' up there, Lord, he won't quit
 And, honey that's all
 You needn't think, babe, 'cause you're black
 I ain't gonna beg you to take me back
 Then I went a-walkin' down the line
 To see would this woman change her mind
 She turned round two or three times
 Take you back in the winter time
