Esther Phillips - Double Crossing Blues

{Esther Phillips}
I’ve been looking for you daddy
I just found you in time
You’re with some other woman
And you swore that you are mine
What’s the matter daddy
Don’t my kisses satisfy?
Well if I don’t thrill you baby
Goodness knows how hard I’ve tried

{Esther Phillips}
Folks say that you’ve been cheating
And now I see it’s true
Well I can’t quit you baby
Cos I’m so in love with you
What’s the matter daddy?
If you’d only tell me why
Well if I don’t thrill you baby
Goodness knows how I’ve tried

{Jimmy Ricks}
You stayed out last night
Said you were playing cards
Can’t understand it baby
Just what makes you play so hard
I’m gonna leave you
And there’s no need for you to cry
If I don’t thrill you baby
Goodness knows how hard I’ve tried

{Esther Phillips, (Jimmy Ricks)}
You should be out in the forеst
Fighting a big old grizzly bear
(How come you ain’t out in the forеst?)
I’m a lady
(There are lady bears out there)
Whoa whoa baby, I just can’t
I just can’t use you anymore
(Well if you can’t use me baby)
(Don’t let nobody come out of that back door)
