Trick Bag Songtext
von Earl King

Twelve o′clock at night
You walk out the door
You told me, baby
Walk under the drugstore
But in my mind
I knew you were lyin'
′Cause the drugstore closed at a quarter to nine

Said I saw you kissin' Willie 'cross the fence
I heard you tellin′ Willie I don′t have no sense
The way you been actin' is such a drag
You done put me in a trick bag

When I come home
You start an argument
Just to keep me from askin′
Where my food done went
Walk in the front door
I hear the back door slam
Peep out my window
The bride is takin' it on the lam


I said I saw you kissin′ Willie 'cross the fence
I heard you tellin′ Willie I don't have no sense
The way you been actin' is such a drag
You done put me in a trick bag

We had a fight
Then you got mad
Got on the telephone
Called your mom and dad
They came a-runnin′ down
With bats in their hands

Don′t you hit her no more, you understand
But I saw her kissin' Willie ′cross the fence
I heard her tellin' Willie I don′t have no sense
The way she's been actin′ is such a drag
She put me in a trick bag

You give me wrong
But I know I'm right
It wasn't I
Who started the fight


She′s my daughter
And I′m her pa
You ain't nothin′
But son-in-law
I said I saw her kissin' Willie ′cross the fence
I heard her tellin' Willie I don′t have no sense
The way she's been actin' is such a drag
She put me in a trick bag

You know I woke up one mornin′
This is what my mother said
"It′s gonna be hard, son
Gonna be hard every day
You're gonna miss a mother′s love
Lonely, lonely nights
But don't take it so hard
