I Don’t Care How Long Lyrics by Sonny Terry

1939

Says I used to call you sweet mama
Can't call you sweet no more
Says I used to call you sweet
Can't call you sweet no more
Cause if I come to your house
Yeah it's a man hangin' around my door
Says I can't eat every morning
Sure can't rest at night
Says I can't eat every morning
Sure can't sleep at night [Why, boy?]
Cuz that old woman that I'm lovin'
Yes she just don't treat me right
I don't care when you go baby
Don't care how long you stay
I don't care when you go mama
Don't care how long you stay
Cuz that old girl start disobeyin'
If you bring her back home to me someday
Oh play it now, boy play with me yeah
Daddy asked you for a lovin'
Well you can't get it in your mind
Daddy asked you for a lovin'
Can't get it in your mind
Well I'm gonna find me some woman
That will trеat me nice and kind
