Leadbelly Baby Don't You Love Me No More Lyrics

Um, baby, why do you have to go?
Um, baby, why do you have to go?
A-you ain't love me, baby, you used to love me so
Baby, don't you love me no more?
Don't you love your daddy no more?

This man, when he first find his woman
She used to kiss him at the do' when he come in
Have his hot supper on the table
In about three mo' months she had somewhere to go
An he sat down and he tol' about it
And the next, morning he goes to work and come back
He didn't see his own wife an no more in 365 days from that day
Which is 1 year
He went to her and here what he said to her:

Um, when you left, you broke my heart
Um, when you left, you broke my heart
You said you love me, baby, and we would never part
Baby don't you love me no mo'?
Don't you love your daddy no mo'?

Um, baby, your Papa ain't a fool Um, baby, your Papa ain't yo' fool
That nothing wrong, baby
B'lieve mama turnin' cool
Baby, don't you love me no mo'?
Don't ya love your daddy no mo'?

He goes on back again an he goes back
An ask her, what you gon' do about it?

Um, baby, what are you gonna do?
Ah, baby, what are you gonna do?
Ya said ya love me,baby
But now you say you're untrue
Baby, don't you love me no mo'?
Don't you love your daddy no mo'?

He goes back on a last round
He had a pocket full a-dollars
When he gets back to his wife
He woke'r up and puts his arm 'round her neck
And here what he says to her:

Um, baby, ain't you comin' back?
Um baby, ain't you comin' back?
Got money, baby, wan' ease your debtor life
Baby, don't you love me no mo'?
Baby, don't you love me no mo'?
