Gotta Let You Go

[Intro]
Let's go

[Verse 1]
Hey, Caledonia
Now where in the world've you been?
Gone to find your soul
I been here all day afternoon tryna get somethin' to eat
You downtown there, drinkin' wine and feelin' fine
When I come home from work and all I heard
Jess told me that he saw my wife downtown there
Hangin' 'round them beer garden, drinkin' wine and feelin' much fine
Ain't no use you standin' up there lookin' like me three sheets in the wind
'Cause I take one of these lawn chairs and knock you on your knees
Then we all gotta go to jail
'Course I don't care 'cause I'm tired of messin' with ya
You know when I first met ya, baby
I told you that I would do everything I could for you
Buy you fine clothes, a big automobile
Now look what you doin'
Ridin' around here with these cats in these long straight pants and long toe shoes
Come tellin' you 'bout: "You gon' have plenty money"
Now you know that ain't ever gon' work with the be-bop boys

[Chorus]
'Cause, I'ma let you go
Yes, I'm gon' let you go
You ain't no good no more
I'm gonna let you go, can't stand in your way

[Verse 2]
Now, look at you here, baby
Talkin' 'bout you got plenty of money
Your toes all stickin' out there
Your hair all nappy there
And your clothes all torn
How in the world you been?
I'm workin' hard every day, you eatin' up all my meat
Won't get up and cook me nothin' to eat
I'm diggin' and slavin' and cuttin' up that concrete
I'm just about got cold feet
I'm 'bout to let that woman go
Hang around these beer gardens with these garbage cans
Now look, I'ma talk about you now

[Chorus]
Yes, I told your mother
Yes, I told your brother
Yes, I told your mother
I got to let you go

[Verse 3]
Now look at her, boy
Head all nappy, there
Her toes is all stickin' there
She ain't had her hair fix yet in 'bout seven years, boy
Hangin' 'round these garbage cans and everything
I mights got cold feet, I'm 'bout to let that woman go

[Chorus]
Yes, I don't love you no more
I don't love you no more
I don't love you no more
I got to let you go
