Now you know, baby

You told me you didn't want me no mo'

Now you know you told me, baby

'At you didn't want me no mo'

Now with me you done showed your big apple

Yo' daddy got to let you go



Now you know the day, baby

You driftin' round from do' to do'

Now you know, baby

You driftin' round from do' to do'

Now, since you done showed your big apple

I can't love you no mo'



Now baby, when I had you

You couldn't find no kind-a place to go

Now when I had you, baby

You could no kind kind-a sho' place to go

But since you done showed yo' big apple

You driftin from do' to do'



'Play that thing'



(harmonica & instrumental)



'Oh, that's tough playin, Mike'



'Oh, I guess I'll find me another one'



'Yas'



Now baby, since it's gon' to rainin'

And begin to snow

Baby, since it begin to rain

And begin to snow

Now, you done showed your big apple

Ain't hardly got a place to go.
