I listened to the song on Rhapsody, and it was a bit clearer than copy on YouTube. Here's my transcription, but it still has a few gaps:


WITCHA WAY TO GO
Huey P. Smith

1. When I took ...
I hit the streets and began to roam.
I don't know which-a-way that I have to go.
I'm tryin' to find my way back home.

2. Baby, oh, baby,
Please, baby, won't you let me come home.
I haven't had none of that good lovin', girl,
Ever since that I've been gone.

3. [BRIDGE] I been searchin', an' searchin',
Tryin' to find myself peace of mind,
But what I really needed, I had it
Waiting(?) at home all the time.

4. You can write me a letter,
Or you can call me on the telephone.
Please tell me which-a-way that I have to go.
I'm tryin' to find my way back home.

5. I thought I'd found a ....
But all it did was psych(?) my mind,
So if you've ever seen me laughin' loud,
I'm just tryin' to keep from cryin'.

REPEAT 3, 1.

6. I spent off all o' my money
On a whole lot o' monkeyshines(?).
Now all o' my friends have left me here.
I don't have a lousy dime.

REPEAT 3, 5, 1, 3, 4, 2(fade).
