Lonnie Johnson - Sam, You Can’t Do That To Me (1930) текст песни

You made me high on your whiskey, you doped me in your gin.
You tried to steal my woman. How can you be my friend?
Sam, you can’t do that to me. Sam, you can’t do that to me.
I been watching you. Sam, you can’t do that to me.

Sam, I give you my money, and I give you my clothes.
You told a lie on me, tried to get me put outdoors.
Sam, you can’t do that to me. How can you grin in my face,
When you mean me no good? Sam, you can’t do that to me.

You stay away from my door. Don’t call on my phone.
If I find it out, you ain’t goinna be alone.
Sam, you can’t do that to me. Sam, you can’t do that to me.
I done warned you. Now, Sam, you can’t do that to me.

Now you told me my woman, had another man.
When I found it out, he was playin’ a double trumpin’ hand.
Sam, you can’t do that to me. Sam, you can’t do that to me.
I know you tried to steal my woman. Sam, you can’t do that to me.

Now the next time I catch you, foolin’ ‘round my door,
Somethin’ gonna happen, ain’t never happened before.
Sam, you can’t do that to me. Sam, you better watch yourself.
If you want a woman, you better find you somebody else.

Now I’ve asked you like a man, I’ve explained it to you, Sam.
You just want to take my woman and you just don’t give a damn.
Sam, you can’t do that to me. Sam, you better watch yourself.
You’d be better off dead, than double-crossin’ somebody else.
