I love my baby, she's so mean to me Yes I love my baby, she's so mean to me I'm gonna change my way of living baby, move across the deep blue sea
You know you didn't want me baby, when you climbed up on my knee You were drinkin' moonshine whiskey mama, tryin' to jive poor me Yes I love you, yes I love you, yes I love, and I don't care what you do
Brownskin woman, who might you're good man be Brownskin woman, who might you're good man be Say the reason why I ask you baby, you sure look good to me
This is a mean old world, Baby to live in by yourself. This is a mean old world, Baby to live in by yourself. Can't get the woman you love, Cause you know she's lovin someone else.
Well I drink to keep from worryin Baby and I smile to keep from cryin'. Yes I drink to keep from worryin And you know I smile to keep from cryin. That's to keep the public from knowin Just what I have on my mind.
Evening, every night you come and you find me And you always remind me that my baby's gone Evening, you got me deeply in your power Every minute seems just like an hour, now that my baby's gone
Shadows fall upon the wall, that's the time I miss your kiss most of all Even though I try, how can I go on
Oh evening, let me sleep till glow of dawn is breakin' I don't care if I don't awaken, since my baby's gone
Shadows fall upon the wall, that's the time I miss your kiss most of all Even though I try, how can I go on
Evening, let me sleep till glow of dawn is breakin' I don't care if I don't awaken, since my man is gone
