"Playin' The Races" lyrics


Playin' The Races
John Lee Hooker
(Hooker)
Artist: John Lee Hooker Complete V.3 Album 1949-50 Detroit
Transcriber: Awcantor@aol.com


I don't want no woman
Playin' the races all the time
I don't want no woman
Playin' the races all the time
You know she ain't good for nothin'
She's too broke most all the time

Dreamed her number last night
Yes, yes, yes.
And my baby, she did the same
Dreamed her number last night
And my baby did the same
My baby got up this mornin'
And she played it just the same

Yes, man

I come home ev'ry Friday
Throws my check down on the bed.
I come home ev'ry Friday.
Throw my check down on the bed
My baby takes all-a my money.
Put it down on five, six an two
Yes, yes!

(Guitar solo)

I don't want no woman
Play the races all the time.
