Trick Bag Lyrics & Chords By Earl King

Twelve o'clock at night, you walk out of door
You told me, baby, you was going to the drugstore
But-a in my mind I knew you was lyin'
The drugstore close at a quarter to nine

I said, saw you kissin' Willie across the fence
I heard you tellin' Willie I don't have no sense
The way you been actin' is such a drag
You done put me in a trick-bag

When-a I come home, you start an argument
Just to keep me from askin' where my food done went
Walk in the front door, I hear the back door slam
Peep out my window, somebody's takin' on a lam

But I saw you kissin' Willie across the fence
I heard you tellin' Willie I don't have no sense
The way you been actin' is such a drag
You done put me in a trick-bag

We had a fight, then you got mad
Got on the telephone, call your mom and dad
They came a-runnin' down with bats in their hands
"Don't you hit her no more, you understand?"

But I saw her kissin' Willie across the fence
I heard her tellin' Willie I don't have no sense
The way she's been actin' is such a drag
You done put me in a trick-bag

You git me wrong, but I know I'm right
It wasn't I that started the fight
"She's my daughter and I'm her paw
"You ain't nothing, a-but a son-in-law"

But I saw her kissin' Willie across the fence
I heard her tellin' Willie I don't have no sense
The way she's been actin' is such a drag
You done put me in a trick-bag
