Take Me Back Blues by Papa Charlie Jackson

Take Me Back Blues - Papa Charlie Jackson; D position, standard tuning.

SOLO

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 lovin' you all the time

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

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

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

SOLO

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 creeping back

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 flirting with the undertaker, I mean it t'ain't no lie
