Trick Bag

(Earl King)

It was 12 o’clock at night, you walk out the door
You told me baby, you were going to the drug-store
Well, in my mind, I knew you were lying
The drug-store closed at a quarter to nine

I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence
I heard you telling Jimmy I ain’t got no sense
The way you’ve been acting is such a drag
You done put me in a trick bag

When I come home, start an argument
Just to keep me from asking where my voodoo went
Peek out the front door, I hear the back door slam
I peep out of my window, somebody’s taking on the lam

I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence
I heard you telling Jimmy I ain’t got no sense
The way you’ve been acting is such a drag
You done put me in a trick bag

Ohh hey yeah
Ohh hey yeah
Ohh hey yeah
Ohh hey yeah

We had a fight, then you got mad
Got on the telephone, called your mom and dad
Dad said, “She’s my daughter and I’m her Pa
And you ain’t nothing but a son-in-law”

I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence
I heard you telling Jimmy I ain’t got no sense
The way you’ve been acting is such a drag
You done put me in a trick bag

Ohh hey yeah
Ohh hey yeah
Ohh hey yeah
Ohh hey yeah
Ohh hey yeah
