Lord, you gon' be sorry

Gon' be sorry

Tell it with excitement
Gon' be too late, baby
Lord, an' I'll be gone
Fred, pay me
Lord, don't come a-runnin'
Lord, baby, screamin' and cryin'
Don't come here runnin' back
Honey, Lord, screamin' and cryin'
Lord, you got a home
You got a home, baby
Lord, long as I got
Me an' my white dog started
Baby, walkin' out in Jackson Park
Me an' my white dog started, honey
Walkin' out in Jackson Park
Here it takes a man's appetite, Lord
Honey, hear my white dog bark
You know I'm goin' to Memphis
I'm gon' stop on Easin' street
You know I'm goin' a-Memphis, baby
I'm 'on stop oh on Easin' street
I want some-a you women
I want some-a you women, please
Show me to reach here in peace
So I won't be dodging every, every long tall man I meet
Let me tell you somethin', baby
Honey, please don't crowd your mind
Let me tell you something
Lord, please don't crowd your mind
I don't Fred
First thing you know, baby
You be gone
A pity it t'ain't yo' plan
Lord, I start to holler loud but I believe
I believe I will murmur, low
Lord, I start to holler
Believe I will murmur, low
