Everybody Leaving Here Songtext
von Skip James

Everybody′s leavin' here
Baby, why don′t we go, too?
Everybody's leavin' here
Baby, why don′t we go, too?

Now you get your shoulder first
And you go way back
Don′t make this make me mad

Everybody's leavin′ here
Baby, why don't we leave, too?

You′ve been a-grabin' a long time
Talkin′ about you'se goin', you goin′
I done give you some money
Now you done changed your mind

Everybody′s leavin' here
Baby, why don′t we go, too?

You know, this old man
Done got mighty cross
He got plenty of money
But it just won't pay off


Everybody′s goin' away from here
Why don′t we leave here, too?

Everybody's leavin' here
Why don′t we leave here, too?

You know, I work for this man
With a-free good will
Now if he don′t pay me
He gon' have me to kill

Everybody is leavin′ here
Why don't we leave here, too?

Now, everybody′s leavin' here
Baby, why don′t we leave, too?
Everybody's leavin' here
Baby, why don′t we leave, too?

Now, here′s some facts
You can hang 'em on your wall
I don′t care if you don't leave at all

Everybody′s goin' away from here
Why don′t we leave here?

And everybody's leavin' here
Why don′t we leave here, too?


Now listen here, woman
I tell you what you do
Give me back my money
And I′ll be through with you

Everybody is leavin' here
Skipper James is long gone, too
I mean it
Everybody′s leavin' here
Why don′t we leave here, too?

Now, you did all you could
To try to make me blue
But I don't care, I′ll be through with you

Everybody's leavin' here
Honey, why don′t we leave here, too?
