Listen here, babe 

I'm broke an I'm hungry, too 

Listen here, babe 

I'm broke an I'm hungry, too 

And I would like to know, babe 

Can I go home wit' you? 

My woman have quit me 

An she did not say one word 

My woman have quit me 

She did not say one word 

It was nothin' that I did 

Just something my baby heard 

It was so hard, babe 

You left me for somebody else 

It was so hard, babe 

You left me for somebody else 

But I've come to get you 

I love you for myself 

Listen here, people 

Can't you do something for me? 

Listen here, people 

Can't you do something for me? 

Lord, my baby's gone 

And no peace can I see 

I'm a real good man 

Good as I can be 

I'm a real good man 

Just as good as I can be 

Lord, I don't see why 

You won't give me three, full meals.
