you've been fooling me, baby

i don't want you

mean mama

there ain't no use you hanging around

for i found me another mama

and now i am chicago bound

you've been fooling me

baby

you've been telling me your lies

when i thought you were an angel

just sent down from the skies

sing those parting blues to me

sweet nell

when you leave you'll leave me sad

'cause my daddy's gone and left me

i just wouldn't treat him right

you've been fooling me

baby

you've been telling me your lies

when i thought you were an angel

just sent down from the skies

i wouldn't give him much loving

wouldn't stay home at night

now i hear the train a-coming

he has gone out of sight

you've been fooling me

baby

you've been telling me your lies

when i thought you were an angel

just sent down from the skies
