Back Door Stranger - Brownie McGhee; G position, standard tuning, Oh Red, washboard.
My baby, she done something, never done before
When I come home, had a pallet up on the floor
REFRAIN: Won't you tell me, woman, who's that left here while ago?
When I come home, who's that went out my back door?
Well, it must have been a stranger, he did not understand
Went out my back door, had log in his hand
REFRAIN: Now, won't you tell me, woman, who's that left here while ago?
When I come home, who's that went out my back door?
Well, I ain't gonna use no ice, gonna buy me a Frigidaire
Know that'll keep iceman away from here
REFRAIN: Now, won't you tell me, woman, who's that left here while ago?
When I come home, who's that went out my back door?
Well, it must have been a stranger, he did not understand
Went out my back door, hat in his hand
REFRAIN: Now, won't you tell me, woman, who's that left here while ago?
When I come home, who's that went out my back door?
SOLO (Spoken: Play it Tampa!)
Well I'm gonna buy my groceries, bring 'em home every day
I know that'll keep that grocery boy away
REFRAIN: Now, won't you tell me, woman, who's that left here while ago?
When I come home, who's that went out my back door?
Well, it must have been a stranger, did not understand
Went out my back door, the pants was in his hand
REFRAIN: Now, won't you tell me, woman, who's that left here while ago?
