Can't Stand To Leave

Jimmy Reed


I can't stand ta' leave ya, baby, you'll break my heart if you go 
I can't stand ta' leave ya, baby, you'll break my heart if you go 
I know you got-a thing goin' on, down at the corner grocery store 

When I left you this mornin', you didn't have a lousy dime 
When I left you this mornin', baby, you didn't have a lousy dime 
When I got back, baby, ya had your favorite bottle a-wine 

I forgive you, baby, for ev'rything you said an' done 
I forgive you, baby, for ev'rything you said an' done 
Ya better forget the grocery store, baby, and find yourself another run
