Lonnie Johnson "Home Last Night (1947)" |
Went home last night, couldn't even get in my room. Went home last night, couldn't even get in my room. Watched as she was maimin' just �cross my baby's room. Put my head upon the keyhole, this is what made me scream. Yes, eyein' the keyhole, this is what made me scream. Said, �Take it easy mama, your sheets, your nights is clean.� I stood there till the tears came rollin' down. I stood there till the tears came rollin' down. I felt just like this boy from across the town. She got ways like a devil, don't mean no good at all. Used to come home at midnight, and now she don't do it at all. I done told you, just about my love. My money �s all gone, my love flew �way like a Georgia dove. If you want it in Chicago, your poor little neck �s down on the line. You want it in Chicago, your poor little neck �s down on the line. No man in town can get his love where I get mine. Goodbye, goodbye, yes gal I'm goin'. Goodbye, goodbye, yes gal I'm goin'. May be back to see you when you change your low down ways. Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
