(I'm Gonna) Quit My Baby

Quit My Baby - B.B. King

Well, I work hard everyday

Come home straight home with my pay

My baby either drink it up

Or she threw it all away

I'm gonna quit my baby

If she don't stop cheatin' and lyin'

Well, I would rather be alone

Than to be worried out of my mind

Well, I give her all of my money

I think I'm being kind

She buy a quart of bad whiskey

And the rest is beer and wine

I'm gonna quit my baby

If she don't stop cheatin' and lyin'

Well, I would rather be alone

Than to be worried out of my mind

Well, a few nights ago

I had to work kinda late

Somebody broke out of my house

Just like he was Superman's mate

I'm gonna quit my baby

If she don't stop cheatin' and lyin'

Well, I would rather be alone

Than to be worried out of my mind

Well, four o'clock this morning,

When I staggered in the block

The little moonshine joint

And the rest just begin to rock

I sneaked inside to get a better view

I caught my woman doin' the mambo too

I'm gonna quit my baby

If she don't stop cheatin' and lyin'

Well, I would rather be alone

Than to be worried out of my mind
