I believe, I believe that I'll go back home
Umm-um-um
I believe that I'll go back home
Well now I'm goin', hardly matters
Ooo-well-brown, than if I be treated wrong

Well, now this not my home
Mama, an I sure don't have to stay
Umm-mm-mm
Babe, I sure don't have to stay
Well now-now, give me a good going
Hoo-hoo-well-well, then I believe I'll go away

Please now don't never give
The woman you love, dime
I said, please don't never give
The woman you love, dime
Well then after you do it
Hoo-hoo-well now
She gon' mistreat you all the time

(piano)

Well, my little woman now she called me
An asked me for my last dime
Well, my little woman she called me
An asked me for my last dime
Well, well now when she get it
Hm-mm, 'Now', she said, 'You is no man a-mine'

You been a-lyin', baby
You been a-lyin'
I don't know how I love you what you do
Hmm-mm-mm
Feedin' me lies will hurt you, too
Well now the same old thing
Hoo-hoo, now is gon' come creeping after you.
