I should-a quit you, along time ago
I should-a quit you, baby, along time ago
I should-a quit you baby, an' went on to Mexico
If I had-a followed, my first mind
If I had-a followed, my first mind
I would-a been gone, yeah, my second time
Yeah!
I should-a went on, when my friend come from Mexico an' me
I should-a went on baby, when my friend come from Mexico an' me
No foolin' 'round 'wit cha' darling, you got me on the killin' floor
God knows, I should-a been gone
God knows, I should-a been gone
No foolin' 'round wit' cha baby
I let you put me on the killin' floor
