Playing the Races Songtext
von John Lee Hooker

I don′t want no woman
Play the races all the time
I don't want no woman
Play the races all the time
You know she ain′t good for nothing
Keep you broke most all the time


Dreamed a number all last night
Yes, yes, yes
And my baby, she did the same
Dreamed a number all last night
And my baby did the same
My baby got up this morning
And she played it to the same
Yes, man

I come home every Friday
Throw my check down on the bed
I come home every Friday
Throw my check down on the bed
My baby takes all of my money
Put it down on five sixty two
Yes, yes

I don't want no woman
Play the races all the time
