Take Me Back Babe Songtext
von Mance Lipscomb

(Spoken:
Here′s about the oldest number that I could
Recall, back in the days I was learnin' and
Heard people play, "Take Me Back")
Oh baby, take me back
I won′t do nothin' you don't like
Oh, I went down that railroad track
Beggin′ my baby to take me back
Take me back, me, one more time
Won′t do nothin' to worry your mind
Tote your water and cut your wood
Make your fire, if I could Oh baby, didn′t you say
'Tain′t but the one thing grieve my mind
My woman quit me in the wintertime
Kill your chicken, baby, save me the wing
Think I'm workin′, ain't doin' a thing
I got a girl, her name is Mar′
Works over yonder in the white folks yard
She rushed me chicken, rushed me a goose
Precious little turkey, well it ′tain't no use
Take me back, take me back
Won′t do nothin', baby, you don′t like
