Lyrics Dexter's Cuttin' Out - Big Bill Broonzy, Dexter Gordon Quartet

Dexter's Cuttin' Out

Now listen here my baby
Tell you what I want you to do
Want you treat me mama
Like I do you
Because I can’t be satisfied
And I can’t be satisfied
And I can’t mistreat her
Not to please nobody’s mind
Now I love my sweety
Tell you the reason why
My baby got something
To satisfy my mind
Lord starvation’s in my kitchen
Rent sign’s on my door
Good girl told me
She can’t use me no more
I’m leaking at the heart
Bleeding at the nose
Good girl told me
She can’t use me no more
Got on my high‑cut stockings
Low cut shoes
Mama and I ain’t?
?
sure can use
Now look a‑here boys
Ain’t this rich
I got to pay my wife
For everything I get
