I’m Gonna Quit My Baby (1957) Songtext
von B.B. King

Way back yonder in the days of old
The men was working but not saving any dough
Then came a woman looking real cool
She said to herself, "Now, that′s my fool"

I'm gonna ball tonight
I′m gonna ball tonight
Well, I can't break the rule
Because every man is some woman's fool

I met a girl on the avenue
She was shy and I was blue
Like a teacher and a student in the school
She looked at me and said, "You′re my fool"


I′m gonna ball tonight
Yes, I'm gonna ball tonight
Well, I can′t break the rule
Because every man is some woman's fool

Way back yonder in the days of old
The men was working but not saving any dough
Then came a woman looking real cool
She became tender with every man

I′m gonna ball tonight
Yes, I'm gonna ball tonight
Well, it′s no use to break the rule
Because every man is some woman's fool

Yeah, I'm gonna ball tonight
Gonna ball tonight
I′m gonna ball tonight
I′m gonna ball tonight
Well, it's no use to break the rule
Because every man is some woman′s fool
