bill brandon - johnnie mae wright lyrics

[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…
