Take Me Back Blues by Papa Charlie Jackson Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take me back, baby, you know I don't know my mind
Why don't you take me back, baby, 'cause you know I don't know my mind
For when I'm mistreating you, I'm loving you all the time

[Verse 2]
I walked the streets all day, hung my head and cried
I walked the streets all day, hung my head and cried
I laid awake all night, trying to make myself satisfied

[Verse 3]
There's one thing, honey, I want you to understand
There's one thing, honey, I want you to understand
That your time ain't long if I catch you with another man

[Verse 4]
You ain't good lookin', and you don't dress fine
You ain't good lookin', and you don't dress fine
But there ain't no reason, let some other man beat my time

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
Going down to the river, honey, don't you wear no black
Going down to the river, honey, don't you wear no black
'Cause when you think I'm gone, I'll come creepin' back

[Verse 6]
If you don't want me, why don't you tell me why?
If you don't want me, why don't you tell me why?
'Cause you're flirtin' with the undertaker, I mean it 'tain't no lie
