I'm Leaving You by Eddie Green & Billie Wilson

I’m Leaving You Lyrics

[Verse: Billie Wilson]
Just listen here Sam [?] Green
You're the greenest man I've ever seen
Ever since I married you in Alabam'
I've been keeping company with loving Sam
You're nothing but a [?]
So on this very day

[Chorus 1: Billie Wilson & Eddie Green]
I'm leaving you (Oh, you say you're going away)
I mean I'm through (And you're going to stay)
If you don't think I'm leaving, count the days I'm gone
But you'll come back when you're hungry, mama, sure's you born
You ain't my style (I ain't no fashion card)
Why, you never smile (I have to work too hard)
Don't you start no argument
I have taken your last cent (Got my money?!)
What I said, I surely meant (Oh lord)
That I'm leaving you

[Interlude: Billie Wilson & Eddie Green]
You ain't going, sure enough, is you mama?
I ain't stayin'. Why, you'd have to have straight hair to keep me!
Looky here mama, that "Kink No More" burns my head!
And furthermore, I want this house cleaned from top to bottom! And while you're cleaning, don't forget to scrub the bathtub.​
Well, can I take a bath?
I should say not.​
I need one, I ain't had none in two months.​
Sorry. You want a bath, go down to the river.​
Looky here mama, there's some hot biscuits on the top of the table, can I have one of them?
No, there's some dog biscuits under the table, eat them.​
Oh, mama, now you know I love you. You know I worked hard and saved for you. You had nothin' to do 'round here but sit on your chair, and you won't even do that. That's the only thing I don't like 'bout you women.​

[Chorus 2: Billie Wilson & Eddie Green]
Now you turn 'round and tell me you're leavin' me (You ain't got a [?])
And it's plain to see (Going far as I can go)
I guess my rocking chair has done got old
My new daddy rocks me with a steady roll
If you change your mind (Well, Sam, what if I do?)
I won't be hard to find (I never look for you)
You know I gave you my last dime
I even loved you with a love sublime
But I get tired of one man all the time (Oh, lord)
So I'm leaving you
