Baby Please Set A Date

Baby please, baby please set a date
Baby please, baby please set a date
Please don't set tomorrow,
tomorrow is too far away

When I put you in my arms,
my heart gets full of frowns
When I get you in my arms,
my face gets full of frowns
When you whisper "Daddy, daddy, daddy",
you know my love come tumblin' down

Now, baby please, baby please set a date
Baby please, baby please set a date
Don't wait until tomorrow,
because tomorrow may be too late, oh yeah

I love you so much baby,
I love you better then I do myself
I love you so much baby,
I love you better then I do myself
If you ever leave me honey,
I couldn't love nobody else


Can't Stop Loving My Baby

I can't stop lovin', my baby tonight
I can't stop lovin', my baby tonight
No matter what I do, she don't treat me right

I left my baby, this mornin' soon
I left my baby, this mornin' soon
I didn't come back home, till in the afternoon

Ooh baby, you know I'm all alone
Yes baby, you know I'm all alone
I ain't had no lovin', now my baby's gone

Coming Home

Well now, look for me baby, you know I'm comin' home
Well now, look for me baby, because you know I'm comin' home
Well now, the reason why I left you down,
you know you'd done me wrong

Well now, I'm comin' home to you baby and I ain't gonna leave no more
Yes, I'm comin' home to you baby and I ain't gonna leave no more
Yes, you know I done you wrong, darlin',
the last time I'm walkin' out your door

Well now, I'll tell you, baby, just before I leave this town
Yes, I'm gonna tell you, baby, just before I leave this town
Well, I'm comin' home to you, baby,
and won't stand no pushin' around

Dark And Dreary

I have lost my baby, almost lost my mind
I have lost my baby, almost lost my mind
Way she treat me, gonna drive a man stone blind

Well, the road seems dark and dreary, while I traveled down that way
Well, the road seems dark and dreary, while I traveled down that way
Well, my baby left me, she just come back home today

Oh, I love my baby, tell the world I do
Oh, I love my baby, tell the world I do
Well, I need a little lovin', darlin', gonna make my dream come true

Oh, I love you darlin', like a schoolboy loves his pie
Oh, I love you darlin', like a schoolboy loves his pie
Now ain't that the way to treat me, darlin', my hurt's so long that I will die


(I) Done Somebody Wrong

The bell just toned, my baby done caught that train and gone
Yes, the bell just toned, my baby done caught that train and gone
It's all my fault, I must have done somebody wrong, oh yeah

Everything that happened, you know I am to blame
Everything that's happened, you know I am to blame
I'm gonna find me a doctor, maybe my luck will change, oh yeah

My mother told me these days would surely come,
but I, wouldn't listen to her, said, "I gotta have some fun"
Aah, I must-a did somebody wrong,
uuh, it's all my fault, I must-a did somebody wrong

Dust My Blues

I'm gonna get up in the morning, I believe I'll dust my blues
Gonna get up in the morning, I believe I'll dust my blues
I gotta leave my baby, I ain't got no time to lose

I don't want no woman, that'll treat me wrong all the time
I don't want no woman, that'll treat me wrong all the time
Well I'm tired of the way she treats me, 'cause I'm about to lose my mind

I'm gonna write a letter, I better send her a telegram
I'm gonna write a letter, I better send her a telegram
She left me soon this morning, and she's got me in an awfull jam

I believe, I believe my time ain't long
I believe, I believe my time ain't long
I gotta leave my baby, I gotta leave my hapy home

Dust My Broom

I'm gettin' up soon in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gettin' up soon in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
I quit the best girl I'm lovin',
now my friends can get in my room

I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know
I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know
If I don't find her in Mississippi,
she be in East Monroe I know

And I don't want no woman,
wants every downtown man she meets
No I don't want no woman,
wants every downtown man she meets
Man, she's a no good doney,
they shouldn't allow her on the street, yeah

I believe, I believe my time ain't long
I believe, I believe my time ain't long
I ain't gonna leave my baby,
and break up my happy home

Early In The Morning

Well it's early in the morning, and my baby can't be found
Well it's early in the morning, and my baby can't be found
I'm gonna pack up and leave her, if she don't stop runnin' around

Well I got to leave my baby, 'cause she gives me such a thrill
Well I got to leave my baby, 'cause she gives me such a thrill
Well she takes me back in the mornin', and I hope she will

She can get so sentimental, when the lights are way down low
She can get so sentimental, when the lights are way down low
The way that gal can thrill me, make any man come back for more


Early One Morning

Oh yeah

It was early one morning, I was, on my way to school
Early one morning, I was, on my way to school
I met a magic1 woman, and she broke my teacher's rule

I'm in love with that woman, before I learn to call her name
I'm in love with that woman, before I learn to call her name
The way you treat me, is doggone insane, oh yeah

Now why don't you tell me baby, honey where you stayed last night
Yes, tell me baby, honey where you stayed last night
You didn't come home, darling un-till the sun was shinin' bright, ohh no

Fine Little Mama

I got a fine little mama,
she really's on the ball
I got a fine little mama,
and she really's on the ball
She is a red hot mama,
and she ain't but five feet tall

Oh yeah, she's got perfect hip and long black waivy hair
She's got perfect hip and long black waivy hair
Aah, that was not a joke, aah
and in town she ain't no square, oh yeah

She is a red hot mama,
but she sure can put me down
She is a red hot mama,
and she sure can put me down
And when she start the lovin',
my love come tumblin' down

Ohh yes, she's my red hot mama, my red hot mama
She's my red hot mama, she's my red hot mama
Well, when she start the lovin',
my love come tumblin' down
