I Don't Know - Willie Mabon

I'm gettin' sick and tired of the way you do

Good kind papa gotta poison you;

Sprinkle goofer dust all around your bed

Wake up one of these mornings

Find your own self dead

She said 'You shouldn't say that'

I said 'What should I say this time baby '

She says 'Mmmmmm I don't know '

My oh my oh my;

I don't know

What my baby puttin' down

The woman I love

She got dimples in her jaws

The clothes she's wearin'

Is made out of the best of cloths;

She can take and wash

She can hang 'em upside the wall

She can throw 'em out the window

And run out and catch 'em

A little bit before they fall;

Sometimes I think you has your habits on

She said 'You shouldn't say that'

I said

'What should I say to make

You mad this time baby '

She says 'Mmmmmm I don't know '

My oh my oh my;

I don't know

What my baby puttin' down

My papa told me my mother sat down and cried

Say 'You're too young a man son

To have the many women you got'

I looked at my mother then

I didn't even crack a smile

I say 'If the women kill me I don't mind dyin

The woman I love I won the week before last

The woman I love I've got out of class;

I thought I won you baby a long time ago

If you don't watch your step

I'm gonna have to let you go

She said 'You shouldn't say that'

I said

'What should I say this time baby '

She says 'Mmmmmm I don't know'

I don't know;

I don't know what my baby puttin' down

Puttin' down
