 Now you know, baby
 You told me you didn't want me no mo'
 Now you know you told me, baby
 'At you didn't want me no mo'
 Now with me you done showed your big apple
 Yo' daddy got to let you go
 Now you know the day, baby
 You driftin' round from do' to do'
 Now you know, baby
 You driftin' round from do' to do'
 Now, since you done showed your big apple
 I can't love you no mo'
 Now baby, when I had you
 You couldn't find no kind-a place to go
 Now when I had you, baby
 You could no kind kind-a sho' place to go
 But since you done showed yo' big apple
 You driftin from do' to do'
 'Play that thing'
 (harmonica & instrumental)
 'Oh, that's tough playin, Mike'
 'Oh, I guess I'll find me another one'
 'Yas'
 Now baby, since it's gon' to rainin'
 And begin to snow
 Baby, since it begin to rain
 And begin to snow
 Now, you done showed your big apple
 Ain't hardly got a place to go.
