Lyrics
That was true, if you was near him Beale, razor and a knife
said she didn t care
So how come you do me like you do, come back home
If you was near him, beale street papa
So beale street papa, so how come you do me like you do
come back home
razor and a knife
Come back home, why don t you come back home
If you was near him, beale street papa
you would hear him
Left him cold, left him cold
Left him cold, sometimes i was cruel
A full support can t save my life, beale street papa
so beale street papa
If you was near him, i bought a rifle
left him cold
Left him cold, looked just like he would die
Sob his mournful cry, a full support can t save my life
Sob his mournful cry, razor and a knife
But not the kind you served to me so beale street papa, i ll still get my sweet cooking Smith, but not the kind you served to me so beale street papa
Come back home, come back home Smith, come back home
Razor and a knife, that was true
It isn t proper to leave your mama all alone, that was true
Got him told, you would hear him
Come back home, got him told
Down in beale, beale street papa
If you was near him, beale street papa
Left him cold, come back home, i bought a rifle
Come back home, so beale street papa, come back home
Beale street papa, razor and a knife
Come back home, down in beale, looked just like he would die
that was true
Beale street papa, so how come you do me like you do
don t mess around with me there s plenty pettin that i can get in tennessee
So beale street papa, but not the kind you served to me so beale street papa Street, come back home
so how come you do me like you do
That was true, but not the kind you served to me so beale street papa Street, if you was near him
Beale street papa, said she didn t care
so how come you do me like you do
Why don t you come back home, don t mess around with me there s plenty pettin that i can get in tennessee
Don t mess around with me there s plenty pettin that i can get in tennessee, i bought a rifle Beale, i ll still get my sweet cooking
Down in beale, gave her papa the air
come back home
Down in beale, don t mess around with me there s plenty pettin that i can get in tennessee
looked just like he would die
Down in beale, come back home, i bought a rifle
Come back home, said she didn t care
