Tricks Ain't Walkin' No More Songtext
von Jimmy Rushing

I told my girl to learn some sense
Stop laying around that Eli club getting drunk at my expense
Every dollar and dime she spends got a drop of my blood on it
Then she runs to me with that same old job, you know

Daddy tricks ain′t walking no more
What? Tricks ain't walking no more
Woman, what are you talking about?
I′ve been in my window since the crack of day
Trying to make a dollar for our house rent to pay

Yes, I know. You know the landlord?
She's saying the blues. Listen, that'll knock me out
Cause she can′t sell that dirty boo
I never seen it break so hard for low down women before

Hmm. Since tricks ain′t walking no more
Ain't it a shame?
Yes, it′s a dirty low down shame
Man, it's a dirty, dirty low down shame


My girl been gone since the rising of the sun
Forty tricks and pass
She hasn′t caught a one
Now you know that's a shame? That′s a dirty shame
That's a dirty, dirty low down shame

Of course, women are the weak vessel
Men, they're to blame
If she don′t catch one, it′s going to be a dirty shame
Here she comes. Listen now, listen now

Bringing the cops with her
Daddy, tricks ain't walking no more
What? Tricks ain′t walking no more
I've been in my window since the crack of day
Trying to make a dollar for our house rent to pay

You know, woman, the landlord
She′s singing the blues knocking again
Just cause she can't sell that dirty boo
I never seen it break so hard for low down women before

Since tricks ain′t walking no more
Yeah, everybody, tricks ain't walking no more
I'm telling you
