I’m Sorry For It Now

Lyrics

[Verse: Billie Wilson & Eddie Green] Look me over carefully, papa Don't you know who I am? I do not know you Don't you recognize your mama That ran away with loving Sam? Oh, yeah! Things have sure gone hard with me Since I've been away Broke and starving as can be I've come back to say [Chorus: Billie Wilson & Eddie Green] Everything I ever did to you, sweet papa I'm sorry for it now I don't what I did, but whatever I did I didn't mean to do it nohow I remember that you were so good to me But I couldn't stand prosperity So everything I ever did to you, sweet papa I'm sorry for it now [Interlude: Billie Wilson & Eddie Green] Papa, please take me back Oh sister, you'll never get back herе no more, you had too many outside men I won't havе no outside men [?] inside neither round here But papa, I ain't got no place to go No? Well you can go to... go out of here Oh papa, don't drive me out Oh sister, I told you when you was here before, it's a long road [?]. And you know I loved and I worked hard for you. I went out to work every day, sometimes twice a day. And I loved you like a husband, didn't I? Yes You loved me too, didn't you? Yes [?] [Chorus: Billie Wilson, Eddie Green, & Both] Everything I ever did to you, sweet papa I'm sorry for it now But you went out of here once, now go out of here again I don't want you nohow (Lord, listen to that) 'Cause you is raggedy, you is dirty, you look so hard Why, you'd have to wipe your feet to even come in my backyard What you did was a sin (Please forgive me), but you'll never do it again I'm sorry for it now
