I should have quit you,
Long time ago.
Yeah,
Long time ago.
I wouldn't be here, my children,
Down on this killing floor.

I should have listened baby,
To my second mind.
I should have listened baby,
To my second mind.
Every time I go away and leave you darling,
You send me the blues way down the line.

Treat me right baby.
People telling me baby,
Can't be satisfied.
They try to worry me baby,
But they never hurt you in my eyes.
Said people worry,
I can't keep you satisfied.
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,
I'm gonna fall right out of bed.

I'm gonna leave my children down on this killing floor.
