Lonnie Johnson Lyrics
"You Drove A Good Man Away (1926)"

Baby you had a good man, ah, but you drove me 'way.
Baby you had a good man, but you have drove me 'way.
But you watch what I tell you baby, you'll need my help someday.

I worked for you baby when it was so cold, you could hardly walk the streets.
I worked for you when it was so cold, that people could hardly walk the streets.
And now I'm down, and that's the way you treat a good man like me.

Once upon a time, I bled my poor heart into your hand.
Once upon a time, I bled my poor heart in your hand.
Now 's just the same, and I'm draggin through this worryin' land.
