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
