I should have quit you, long time ago
I wouldn't be here, my children, down on this killin' floor

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

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 killing floor

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

I'm gonna leave my children down on this killing floor
