Bessie Smith - Take It Right Back

You came home about half past three
| D | D7 |
Wakin' me up, papa, you was ballin' me
| G | GM7 |
Take it right back to the place where you got it
| D | D - B7 |
I don't want a bit of it left here
| E - A7 | D |

You just leapin' in rollin' drunk
Smellin' just like you been with any old skunk
Take it right back to the place where you got it
Mama don't want a bit of it left here

Please, let me understand
I don't want nothin' that is secondhand
Take it right back to the place where you got it
You can't leave a bit of it in here

When I tell you that I'm good and through,
There ain't nothin' that your mama wouldn't do
Take it right back to the place where you got it
You can't leave a bit of it in here

Been your cook, but I'm gettin' you told
You got the last of my jelly roll
Take it right back to the place where you got it
Child, you shan't leave a bit of it in here

You just like one of these old tomcats
Always chasin' these no good rats
Take it right back to the place where you got it
You can't leave a bit of it in here

Don't come shootin your no good sass
You ain't got nothin' that I must have
Take it right back to the place where you got it
You can't leave a bit of it in here

I ain't worried, I'm doing very fine
You keep yours, and I'll hold on to mine
Take it right back to the place where you got it
You can't leave a bit of it in here

If you think that I miss you, say
That's just simply your DBA
Take it right back to the place where you got it
I'm gonna pick up the broom and sweep it out of here!
