Now, I'm going out East, to wear you off my mind
Lord, I'm going out East, just to wear you off my mind
'Cause you keep me worried, baby, and bothered all the time
Now, I'm going 'way, baby, I won't be back 'til Fall
Lord, I'm going 'way, baby, I won't be back 'til Fall
And if I find me a kind-treatin' girl, don't look for me at all
Pretty baby, tell me, what do you mean to do?
I've tried so hard, baby, to try to get along with you
And you caused me to be your baby, and this is the old low-down way you do
Now, I'm going away, baby, I won't be back no more
Lord, I'm going 'way, baby, I won't come back no more
You caused me to be in this trouble, baby, this is the old way you do
Pretty baby, tell me, what do you mean to do?
I've tried so hard, baby, to try to get along with you
And you caused me to be your baby, and this is the old low-down way you do
