Leroy Carr Take A Walk Around The Corner
Believe I'll take me a walk : around the corner by myself
And if I can't find my baby : I don't want nobody else
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 to kill my woman : for loving another man
Then I'm going to the judge : and I'm going to fall down
on my knees
Ask him please fair judge : have mercy on me please
Judge I done killed my woman : because 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
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
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
I just love to hear : my baby call my name
