 The things that I used to do
 Lord, I won't do no more.
 The things that I used to do
 Lord, I won't do no more.
 I used to set and hold your hand, Baby
 Cried begging you not to go.

 I would search all night for you, Baby
 Lord, and my search would always end in vain.
 I would search all night for you, Baby
 Lord, and my search would always end in vain.
 But I knew all along, Darling
 That you was hid out with your other man.

 I'm going to send you back to your mother, Baby
 Lord, and I'm going back to my family, too.
 I'm going to send you back to your mother, Baby
 Lord, and I'm going back to my family, too.
 'Cause nothing I do that please you, Baby
 Lord, I just can't get along with you.
