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.
