The Lemon Song

I should have quit you long time ago
Yeah, long time ago
I wouldn’t be here, my children
Down on this killin’ floor.

I should have listened, baby
         to my second mind
I should have listened, baby
         to my second mind
Everytime I go away and leave you, darling
You send me the blues way down the line

Babe, treat me right, baby, my my my
People tellin’ me baby can’t be satisfied
They try to worry me baby
But they never hurt you in my eyes

Said, people worry
         I can’t keep you satisfied
Let me tell you baby
You ain’t nothin but a two-bit, no-good jive

Went to sleep last night, worked as hard as I can
Bring home my money, you take my money
        give it to another man

I should have quit you, baby
        such a long time ago
I wouldn’t be here with all my troubles
        down on this killin floor.

Squeeze me baby
          till the juice runs down my leg,
Squeeze me baby
          till the juice runs down my leg;
The way you squeeze my lemon
I swear I’m gonna fall right out of bed.

With you down on this killin floor
