I Don't Know

I Don't Know - Willie Mabon

Written by：Willie Mabon/Joe Thomas

I'm gettin' sick and tired of the way you do

Good kind papa got to poison you

Sprinkle goofer dust all around your bed

Wake up one of these mornings

Find your own self dead

She said you shouldn't say that

I said what should I say this time baby

She says mmmm I don't know

My oh my oh my

I don't know what my baby puttin' down

The woman I love she's got dimples in her jaws

The clothes she's wearin'

Is made out of the best of cloths

She can take and wash them

She can hang them upside the wall

She can throw them out the window and run out

Catch them a little bit before they falls

Sometimes I think you had your habits on

She said you shouldn't say that

I said what should I say

To make you mad this time baby

She says mmmm I don't know

My oh my oh my

I don't know what my baby puttin' down

My papa told me my mother sat down and cried

Say you're too young a man son

To have the many women you got

I Looked at my mother

Then I didn't even crack a smile

I say if the women kills me

I don't mind dying

The woman I love I won the week before last

The woman I love I've got out of class

I thought I won you baby a long time ago

If you don't watch your step

I'm gonna have to let you go

She said you shouldn't say that

I say what should I say this time baby

She says mmmm

I don't know I don't know

I don't know what my baby puttin' down

Puttin' down
