Baby Please Set A Date

by Elmore James
recording of November 1959, Chicago

Baby please, baby please set a date
Baby please, baby please set a date
Please don't set tomorrow,

I'm gonna get up in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gonna get up in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
I quit the best girl I'm lovin',
now my friends can get in my room

I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know

Oh yeah

It was early one morning, I was, on my way to school
Early one morning, I was, on my way to school
I met a magic1 woman, and she broke my teacher's rule

I'm in love with that woman, before I learn to call her name
I'm in love with that woman, before I learn to call her name

He's just a little meaner and maybe I can break away
Make me cry a little harder and maybe I won't want to stay
You don't love me and I know it it's been the answer's thought me so
So be just a little meaner then I'll give up at last and go
He'll hurt me just a little and fill my heart with doubts and fears
And you love me just a little and I'll forget yesterday's tears
If you'd really truly hurt me I might forget I'd love you so
Please be just a little meaner then I'll give up at last and go

Well I lost my baby, she just wouldn't treat me right
Well I lost my baby, she just wouldn't treat me right
She has spent all my money and she didn't come home 'til night

Every time I see my baby, walkin' down the street with some other man
Every time I see my baby, walkin' down the street with some other man
It used to be your cousin but now you're runnin' hand in hand

Well I laid down one night, late one Saturday night
Well I laid down one night, late one Saturday night
I was thinkin' 'bout my baby, and she just wouldn't treat me right

I didn't mistreat you baby, honey why don't you treat me right
I didn't mistreat you baby, honey why don't you treat me right
I been weepin' on my pillow, because you didn't come home last night

Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin' cane
Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin' cane
I got me another woman, baby, yon' come your man

Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin' cane
Look on yonder wall and hand me down my walkin' cane
I got me another woman and, uhh, baby, yon' come your man

Oh baby, come and make a little love tonight
Oh baby, come and make a little love tonight
Come on and make a little love darlin',
While the moon is shinin' bright

Oh please, please make love tonight
Oh please, please make love tonight
I want you to make a little love darlin'

I'm in love with the one, she's in love with my best friend
I'm in love with the one, she's in love with my best friend
Well now we're really through, all gotta start all over again

Won't you tell me baby, where you spent last night
Won't you tell me baby, where you spent last night
Well you didn't come home, until the sun was shinin' bright

My baby's so mean and evil, I don't know what to do
My baby's so mean and evil, I don't know what to do
Treat me low and dirty, I can't get along with you
When we lived in a small town, you was so nice an' neat

When we lived in a small town, you was so nice an' neat
Brought you to Chicago, you do nothin' but walk the street
Well, she used to cook my breakfast and bring it to my bed

You're just like the devil,
No love in my heart for you
You're just like the devil,
No love in my heart for you
I'm goin' back home,
Nothin' I can do with you

I'm goin' back home,

My baby's gone and she won't be back no more
My baby's gone and she won't be back no more
Left me soon this mornin', like she did the night before

I don't want no woman that stays drunk all the time
I don't want no woman that stays drunk all the time
She has a daddy mistreat her, and she don't pay me no mind

My Baby's got way, I just can't understand
My Baby's got way, I just can't understand
Leaves me in the mornin', goes with another man

I said, "Baby, baby please come back to me"
I said, "Baby, baby please come back to me"
I'll make you as happy, as my little girl can be

I roll and I tumble, I cried the whole night long
Yes, I roll and I tumble, I cried the whole night long

I got up this morning, feeling that something going on wrong
Well now I want you to love me baby, or please let me be
Yes, love me baby, or please let me be
If you don't like my peaches, please don't shake my tree

Shake your moneymaker
Shake your moneymaker
Shake your moneymaker
Shake your moneymaker
Shake your moneymaker
And then?
Shake your moneymaker
Shake your moneymaker

Well I came home one mornin', found my baby gone
Well you know I always lived all alone

Oh, I love her,
Yes, I love her
Sho' nuff I do

First time I saw her, on a Friday night

Something inside me,
That just won't let me be
Something inside me,
That just won't let me be, yeah
My baby is gone and left me,
And my heart's in misery
I wake up early in the mornin',
In my bedroom all alone

I'm a stranger here
And I just moved into your town
I'm a stranger here
And I just moved into your town

Because I'm a stranger
Everybody's doggin' me around
Doggin' me around

Seems like I heard that lonesome Sunnyland blow
Seems like I heard that lonesome Sunnyland blow
Now it blowing just like it won't be back no more

Well I feel bad this morning, feel just like I want to cry
Feel bad this morning, feel just like I want to cry
Well my baby rode that Sunnyland this mornin', she didn't even once say goodbye

The sky is crying,
Look at the tears rolling down the streets.
The sky is crying,
Look at the tears rolling down the streets.
I looked out my window,
The rain was falling down in sheets.

My baby left me this morning,

The sun is shinin, although it's raining in my heart,
The sun is shinin, although it's raining in my heart,
You know I love you baby, ahhh,
But the best of friend must part.

My baby left me this mornin, ahhh,
And didn't even, ahhh, say goodbye,
My baby left me this mornin,

Tell me whose
Baby, whose old muddy shoes I see?
Now, tell me whose
Baby, whose old muddy shoes I see?
They're down at the head of my bed, darling
Where my shoes outta be
My baby and I got along just fine
Until she went wrong.

Yes I'm wild about you woman
But you don't treat me right
Yes I'm wild about you baby
But you just treat me right
Well you leave home early in the morning
And you stays out all the night

Well you leave me baby
