Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Number two take seven

Let's cut it, lets cut it, lets cut it

[Verse 2]

I'ma get up in the mornin'

I believe I'll dust my blues

I'ma get up in the mornin'

I believe I'll dust my blues

I gotta leave my baby

I ain't got no time to lose

[Verse 3]

I don't want no woman

Gotta treat me wrong all the time

I don't want no woman

Gotta treat me wrong all the time

Well I'm tired of the way she treats me

'Cause I'm about to lose my mind

[Verse 4]

I'ma write a letter

I better send her a telegram

I'ma write a letter

But I better send her a telegram

She left me soon this morning

And she got me in an awful jam

[Verse 5]

I believe, I believe my time ain't long

I believe, I believe my time ain't long

I gotta leave my baby

I gotta leave my happy home

Written by: Elmore James, Joe Bihari, Robert Johnson
