Dexter's Cuttin' Out - Big Bill Broonzy, Dexter Gordon Quartet

Now listen here my baby

Tell you what I want you to do

Want you treat me mama

Like I do you

Because I can’t be satisfied

And I can’t be satisfied

And I can’t mistreat her

Not to please nobody’s mind

Now I love my sweety

Tell you the reason why

My baby got something

To satisfy my mind

Lord starvation’s in my kitchen

Rent sign’s on my door

Good girl told me

She can’t use me no more

I’m leaking at the heart

Bleeding at the nose

Good girl told me

She can’t use me no more

Got on my high‑cut stockings

Low cut shoes

Mama and I ain’t?

?

sure can use

Now look a‑here boys

Ain’t this rich

I got to pay my wife

For everything I get
