INTRO SOLO
I got to go, got to leave my baby be
Got to go, got to leave my baby be
'Cause I love my woman, but my woman do not care for me
Baby, baby, what more can I do?
Baby, baby, what more can I do?
I done everything, cannot get along with you
Oh yes, babe, oh yes oh yes, I know
Oh yes, babe, oh yes, oh yes, I know
You don't want me, woman, you're likin' Mister So-And-So
My God, babe, my God, my God, my God
My God, babe, my God, my God, my God
'Cause I love you, woman, I don't want to be your dog
SOLO
Nero, make me a soldier of the cross
Nero, make me a soldier of the cross
My baby quit me, then I know my soul is lost
Baby, baby, why don't you answer me?
Baby, baby, why don't you answer me?
I’ve been a bad fellow, babe, I don't intend to be
Sometimes, my woman too sweet to die
Sometimes, my woman too sweet to die
And again I believe ought to been buried 'live
Oh babe, it hurts me to my heart
Oh babe, it hurts me to my heart
And the Good Book says that the best of friends must part (Spoken: Come on, Peter!)
SOLO
I got to go, got to leave my baby be
Got to go, got to leave my baby be
'Cause I love my woman, but my woman do not care for me
Because I'm black I was born black from my birth
‘Cause I'm fine, I was born black from my birth
And the women do tell me I'm the sweetest black man on Earth
In, baby, what's the matter now?
In here, baby, what's the matter now?
I'll always remember, you don't mean me no good nohow
Oh, baby, Lord, I swear to you
Oh baby, what's the matter you?
'f you don't want me no more, babe, I don't know what to do
