Beggin' Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Listen here mama : I'll be good
Drink your wine : cut your wood
When I had you : you wouldn't do
Now I got another : and I don't want you
Every evening : half past eight
*Hobbling along* : *with my gait*
Working in the spring : *sleeping in the sand*
Got to get that fifty dollars : that I wish I had
You may think : because you're black
I'm going to beg you : to take me back
I went a‑walking : down the line
To see if this woman : changed her mind
She turned around : two or three times
Take you back : in the wintertime
