Take Me Back Lyrics
[Chorus: Corey Harris]
Aw babe, take me back
Won't do nothing, baby, you don't like
Tote your water and cut your wood
Make a little fire, baby, if I could
[Verse 1]
Well, I went down that railroad track
Begging my baby to take me back
Take me back, baby, one more time
Won't do nothing to worry your mind
[Interlude]
Take me back
Yeah, I won't do nothing to worry your mind
Yeah, I'll do all the cooking and the cleaning
And the sewing and the ironing too, yeah, mmmm hmmmm
[Verse 2]
Well, I got a girl, her name's is Marge
Works over yonder in the rich folk's yard
Rustle me a chicken, baby save me the wing
Think I'm working, n' ain't doin' a thing
[Chorus 2]
Aw baby, take me back
Won't do nothing, baby, you don't like
Tell you the one thing, babe, that grieves my mind
My woman quit me in the winter time
[Verse 3]
Goin' down to a distant land
Get a hundred dollars from the rich man's hand
The rich man's hand, the rich man's hand
A hundred dollars from the rich man's...
[Outro]
Yeah, I know he got the money, got to give it up now
Mmmm hmmm, won't do nothin', baby, you don't like
