Trick Bag - Earl King
Twelve o'clock at night you walk out of door
You told me baby you was going to the drugstore
But-a in my mind I knew you was lyin'
The drugstore close at a quarter to nine
I said saw you kissin' Willie across the fence
I heard you tellin' Willie I don't have no sense
The way you been actin' is such a drag
You done put me in a trick-bag
When-a I come home you start an argument
Just to keep me from askin' where my food done went
Walk in the front door I hear the back door slam
Peep out my window somebody's takin' on a lam
But I saw you kissin' Willie across the fence
I heard you tellin' Willie I don't have no sense
The way you been actin' is such a drag
You done put me in a trick-bag
We had a fight then you got mad
Got on the telephone call your mom and dad
They came a-runnin down with bats in their hands
"Don't you hit her no more you understand"
But I saw her kissin' Willie across the fence
I heard her tellin' Willie I don't have no sense
The way she's been actin' is such a drag
You done put me in a trick-bag
You git me wrong but I know I'm right
It wasn't I that started the fight
"She's my daughter and I'm her paw
"You ain't nothing a-but a son-in-law"
But I saw kissin' Willie across the fence
I heard her tellin' Willie I don't have no sense
The way she's been actin' is such a drag
You done put me in a trick-bag
