Lonnie Johnson - Somebody's Got To Go (1941) Lyrics

Night and day I been drinkin', tryin' to get you off my mind.
Night and day I been drinkin', tryin' to get you off my mind.
Now you know I love you. That is why you treat me so unkind.

Now my breads it was stole, and my coffee's gettin' cold.
I hear my mother sayin', she'll get my father's gold.
She says, Ooh-wee, Daddy, somebody is got to go.
I'm tired of you stayin' out night and day. Somebody �s got to go.

Now you told me that you love me, when you laid down across my bed.
You was pullin' your �odds up, bein' harmful,� and talkin' out your head.

I said, Ooh-wee, somebody �s got to go.
I just can't get along with you baby. Somebody �s got to go.

Now you told me that you love me baby, I know your love ain't true.
�Cause how can you love me baby, and love my best friend too?
Ooh-wee, baby somebody �s got to go.
I just can't stand your jivin' no longer. Somebody's got to go.

Now I went home yesterday mornin', just about the break of day.
I peep through the keyhole and somebody's layin'on the pillow where I'm supposed to lay.
I says, Ooh-wee, you know somebody is booked to go.
I can't stand that pressure no longer. Jack somebody �s got to go.
