Mister Charlie
Why shouldn't I take a chance mama, when good luck comes along
Why shouldn't I take a chance mama, when good luck comes along
Seems like everybody's down on me, always somebody's doing me wrong

Says I can't live for loving, but I just can't help myself
Says I can't live for loving, but I just can't help myself
Now the little woman I'm loving quit me, well I sure don't want nobody else

Oh Mr Charlie, why don't you leave my gal alone
Oh Mr Charlie, why don't you leave my gal alone
Well you keep on kicking her, you bound to break up my happy home

And it was early this morning, I was walking down the avenue
And it was early this morning, I was walking down the avenue
Says I had a good spirit, thought I was strolling along with you

Says I turned around, and I wrung my hands and cried
Says I turned around, and I wrung my hands and cried
Says I felt so lonesome, I didn't have my baby by my side
