Letra de Johnnie Mae Wright

[Verse 1]
Johnnie Mae, are you gonna stay home tonight, love?
Johnnie Mae, are you gonna sleep in the same bed
With your husband for a change, dear?
Always roaming in the streets all the time
Meeting your men right outside
You know that just ain't right, no it ain't, no
And me, wonderin' and a-hopin' will it be my chance tonight?
[Chorus]
Oh, somebody take the bag away from this woman, yeah
Make the tears stop fallin' from my eyes
Give me back the thing, that I need most of all, y'all, yeah
Sweet Johnnie Mae Wright
[Verse 2]
Telephone ringing off the hook
I don't even answer anymore, it's always for you, girl
Heh... and Johnnie Mae
I gave you money for the baby clothes and rent
Tell me, who did you spend it on?
Huh... your friends seem to dress pretty nice
Thought I saw 'em in one of my suits once or twice
And a pair of my best shoes, yes I did, yeah
Huh, listen... and Johnnie Mae
This kind of thing has got to stop
'Cause I just can't take it, no no, no no no, no no
[Chorus]
Somebody take the bag away from this woman, yeah
Make the tears stop fallin' from my eyes, oh Lord
Give me back the thing, that I need most of all, y'all, yeah
Sweet Johnnie Mae Wright, mhm...
[Outro]
Huh, Johnnie Mae, wait a minute
I just wanna, I just wanna talk just a little bit longer, baby
I just, I just wish I could change your mind, girl
Oh darlin', please, give my just one minute more, baby
Before you go, oh darlin'... don't you walk out that door
Wait a minute, baby...
