SUITCASE BLUES
(George W. Thomas)

Well, my suitcase is packed, trunk done gone.
You know by that I ain't gonna be here long,
But I'm scared to go down that big road by myself.
Lord, I'm scared to go down that big road by myself.

I love you, baby, but your ways I just can't stand.
I love you, baby, but your ways I just can't stand.
So you get you another woman. I'll get me another man.

'Cause where there ain't no lovin', there ain't no getting along.
'Cause where there ain't no lovin', there ain't no getting along.
Now you know, baby, you've always treated me wrong.

No more baby, he runs me crazy. I ain't got me no more baby.
Lord, I ain't got me no more baby now.
Lord, I ain't got me no more baby now.

I'm leavin' you, daddy, but it almost breaks my heart.
I'm leavin' you, baby, but it almost breaks my heart.
But you know, daddy, the best friends sometime must part.

Suitcase Blues by Sippie Wallace

Well my suitcase is packed
Trunk done gone
You know by that
I ain't gonna be here long

But I'm scared to go now
Let me go on by myself
Lord I'm scared to go now
Let me go by myself

I love you baby
But your ways I just can't stand
I love you baby
But your ways I just can't stand

You get you another woman
I'll get me another man

Cuz where there ain't no lovin'
There ain't no getting along
Cuz where there ain't no lovin'
There ain't no getting along

You know baby
You always treated me wrong

No more baby
He runs me crazy
I ain't got me
No more baby

Oh I ain't got me
No more baby now
Oh I ain't got me
No more baby now

I'm leavin' you daddy
But it almost breaks my heart
I'm leavin' you daddy
But it almost breaks my heart

But you know daddy
The best friends some time must part

I heard her sing this opening for Bonnie Raitt, what an evening.
