E
I should have quit you long time ago
A                                       E
Yeah long time ago, oh yeah long time ago.
            B
I wouldn't be here my children
A                      E
Down on this killin' floor.

I should have listened, baby, to my second mind
Oh, I should have listened, baby, to my second mind
Everytime I go away and leave you, darling
You send me the blues way down the line

Baby, yeah
Give it to me, baby
My, my, my
Take it down a bit
Give it to me, baby
Keep me satisfied

Tryin' worry bout me, baby but
I'd never get you with myself
Keep on worrying, baby
Can't keep you satisfied
Huh, let me tell you, baby
You ain't nothing 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
Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg
The way you squeeze my lemon, ah
I'm gonna fall right out of bed
Bed, bed, bed, yeah

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,
baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, oh

I'm going to leave my children
down on this killing floor
