J.T. "Funny Paper" Smith - Before Long lyrics

Before long, before long I'm gonna make you grieve and moan Before long, before long, baby 'fore long When I had money baby, you was good to me But now I'm broke and hungry and you's cruel as you can be But before long, before long, baby 'fore long Last night you called me a low down, dirty name Woke up Monday mornin', and done the same old thing But before long, 'fore long, baby 'fore long It won't be long, before the break o' day Gimme my shirt and tie baby, I'll get out on my way But before long, you'll need me, yes, ba-baby 'fore long Before long, before long I'm gonna make you grieve and moan Before long, before long, baby 'fore long You in good health now baby, and good and strong But before long, baby, you'll be down to skin and bone But, before long, before long, baby 'fore long I'm going now baby, kiss me goodbye I know you don't love me baby and I don't see how you cry But before long, you'll need me, baby 'fore long Before long, before long I'm gonna make you grieve and moan Before long, before long, baby 'fore long Seem like I 'streated you to dog me all the time Look like it do you good somebody, the same (one that?) saw me cryin' But 'fore long 'fore long, baby 'fore long
