Playing the Races - John Lee Hooker

I don’t want no woman

Playin' the races all the time

I don’t want no woman

Playin' the races all the time

You know she ain’t good for nothin'

She’s too broke most all the time

Dreamed her number last night

Yes, yes, yes

And my baby, she did the same

Dreamed her number last night

And my baby did the same

My baby got up this mornin'

And she played it just the same

Yes, man

I come home ev’ry Friday

Throws my check down on the bed

I come home ev’ry Friday

Throw my check down on the bed

My baby takes all-a my money

Put it down on five, six an two

Yes, yes!

I don’t want no woman

Play the races all the time
