I should have quit you, long time ago. [X2] I wouldn't be here, my children, down on this killin' floor.
I should have listened, baby, to my second mind [X2] Everytime I go away and leave you, darling, you send me the blues way down the line.
Said, people worry I can't keep you satisfied. Let me tell you baby, you ain't nothin but a two-bit, no-good jive.
Went to sleep last night, worked as hard as I can, Bring home my money, you take my money, give it to another man. I should have quit you, baby, such a long time ago. I wouldn't be here with all my troubles, down on this killing floor.
Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg. [X2] The way you squeeze my lemon, I'm gonna fall right out of bed.
I'm gonna leave my children down on this killing floor.
