Back Door Stranger - Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee

My baby she done somethin, never done before

When I come home, had a pail up on the floor

Won’t you tell me woman, who’s that left here while ago?

When I come home, who’s that went out my back door?

Well it must have been a stranger, he did not understand

Went out my back door, padlock in his hand

Now won’t you tell me woman, who’s that left here while ago?

When I come home, who’s that went out my back door?

Well I ain’t gonna use no ice, gon’buy me a frigidaire

Know that’ll keep the ice man away from here

Now won’t you tell me woman, who’s that left here while ago?

When I come home, who’s that went out my back door?

Well it must have been a stranger, he did not understand

Went out my backdoor, hat in his hand

Now won’t you tell me woman, who’s that left here while ago?

When I come home, who’s that went out my back door?

Well I’m gonna buy my groceries, bring 'em home every day

I know that’ll keep that groceries boy away

Now won’t you tell me woman, who’s that left here while ago?

When I come home, who’s that went out my back door?

Well it must have been a stranger, did not understand

Went out my backdoor, the passage in his hand

Now won’t you tell me woman, who’s that left here while ago?

When I come home, who’s that went out my back door?
