Fore Day Blues - Louis Jordan, Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five

'Fore day in the mornin', babe

You ain’t got home yet

Hmm, it’s 'fore day in the mornin', babe

You ain’t got home yet

I cried and cried

'Til my pillow’s soaking wet!

Babe, I can’t get started

Since you threw me down

Hmmm, I can’t get started

Since you threw me down

I thought you were the square, babe

And you played me for a clown

I loved you, baby

But you don’t mean me no good

Hmmm, I loved you, baby

But you don’t mean me no good

You give me so much trouble

I believe I move from your neighborhood!
