SO LONG BABY SO LONG
As recorded by Bo Carter, 1931.

1. I got a sweet little girl; she really don't mean me no good.

CHORUS: For so long, oh, so long, baby, so long.

2. She got so dirty, so low down, she had to leave the neighborhood.

3. I know she don't love me; I can tell the old low-down was she do.

4. You caused me to be here and this is the old low-down way she do.

5. Don't you never get tired of, baby, treatin' me like a dog?

6. I've been your little puppy ever since I entered your do'.

7. I'm going to the nation and next in the territo'.

8. So won't you love me old sweet baby, you won't see poor boy no mo'.

9. Now won't you tell me, sweet baby: what's really gon' become of poor me?

10. You treat me so dirty; you just as mean as you can be.
