Does anybody remember this song, maybe called "Carry It Back"?

Lyrics, as I recall:

I'll tell you how these women do,
Try to love you and your brother too.
Carry it back, I don't want it no more.

(Chorus)
Carry it back, I don't want it,
Carry it back, I don't want it,
Carry it back, I don't want it no more.

One thing, baby, that'll make me mad,
Try to give me something somebody done had.
Carry it back, I don't want it no more.

CARRY IT RIGHT BACK HOME
Ed Bell (Barefoot Bill)
C position, standard tuning

Look here, woman, makin' me mad
Come bringin' me somethin' somebody done had
REFRAIN: Carry it right back home, I don't want it no more

Let me tell you what these women do
Go out and get somethin', bring it home to you
You can carry it back home, I don't want it no more

Now you need not think, 'cause you look cute,
I tried to put up with the way you do
Carry it right back home, I don't want it no more

The woman I love, she's long and tall
When she grab you and shake you, you're bound to fall
Got to carry it back home, I don't want it no more

SPOKEN: Oh, play that thing, sweet papa Barefoot Bill!

Now bring this thing down to a test
A long tall man, you know, is the best
Now, right home, I don't want it no more

A short sort of man goes "bump da-bump"
'Cause he ain't got the movement in his ---
Carry it right back home, I don't want it no more

SPOKEN: Carry it right on back home, mama, 'cause I don't want it chere (sic)

Know what you been doin' by the whiff of your jaw
Might hit you so hard, might join your great grandpa
Carry it right back home, I don't want it no more

You need not come here, you're not gettin' none of mine
You left a man on the doorstep, hollerin' and cryin',
Carry it right back to him, I don't want it no more


The above was found with a google of

"Carry it back", "I don't want it no more"

just as is with the quotation marks as is.

Gee, I saw the request message, but not the one from Peace. I Googled and found the very same lyrics, prepared to post them, and found Peace had beat me to the punch by a long shot.
I think his source was http://weeniecampbell.com/mambo/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=416&Itemid=121.
This http://weeniecampbell.com Website looks like it might be valuable to us. It seeks a goal of "Preserving Country Blues through Education, Performance and Technology."

Michael Taft's Pre-War Blues Lyrics Concordance also has the lyrics, formatted in Taft's unique style:

Bell, Ed
CARRY IT RIGHT BACK HOME
Atlanta, 4 Dec. 1930
(151037‑2) Co‑14595‑D Rt RL‑325

Look here woman : making me mad
Done bringing me something : somebody done had

Let me tell you : what these women do
Go out and get something : bring it home to you

Now you need not think : because you look cute
I've got to put up : with the way you do

The woman I love : she's long and tall
When she grab you and shake you : you bound to fall

Now bring this thing : down to a test
A long tall man : you know's the best

A short stubble man : go bumpty bump
Because he ain't got the movements : in his hump

Know what you been doing : by the whiff of your jaw
*My* ??? :

You need not come here : you ain't not get none of mine
You left a man on the doorstep : hollering and crying
