Take a Walk Around the Corner Lyrics by Leroy Carr

Whiskey Is My Habit, Good Women Is All I Crave: The Best of Leroy Carr

1934

Believe I'll take me a walk round the corner by myself
Believe I'll take me a walk round the corner by myself
And if I can't find my babe, I don't want nobody else

She went out last night and she didn't even say goodbye
She went out last night and she didn't even say goodbye
How come she left me, Lord I really don't know why

Now I'm going out this morning, my forty‑five in my hand
Now I'm going out this morning, my forty‑five in my hand
And I'm going to kill my woman for loving another man

Then I'm going to the judge, I'm gonna fall down on my knees
Thеn I'm going to the judge and I'm gonna fall down on my knees
Ask him pleasе fair judge, have mercy on me please

Judge I done killed my woman ‘cause she treated me so unkind
Judge I done killed my woman ‘cause she treated me so unkind
Treated me so unkind till I swear I lost my mind

Well it's please please please don't send me to the electric chair
Lord it's please please please don't send me to the electric chair
Just give me my time and I'll try to do it anywhere

When I'm dead and gone and six feet in the ground
When I'm dead and gone and six feet in the ground
You can only say, “there's a good man has gone down”

Oh it looks mighty cloudy and I believe it's going to rain
Well it looks mighty cloudy and I believe it's going to rain
I just love to hear my baby call my name
