Miss Eloise - John Lee Hocker

Well, I gotta leave my baby, now

'Cause she won’t leave these numbers 'lone

Well, I gotta leave my baby, now

'Cause she won’t leave these numbers 'lone

She keep me worried and bothered, Lord

And troubled all the time

Lord, I work hard ev’ryday

And my baby, she won’t let me be true

Well, I work hard ev’ryday, people

My baby just won’t let me be true

My baby don’t do nothin'

But play the races all the time

My baby plays five-forty-two

Here come, five-forty-nine

My baby told me this mornin'

Said, now her daddy go

God knows, God knows

I wasn’t there no more

I say, ooh

Baby, how could I get 'ware, to the way you do

Well, I decided I would start workin'

My babe won’t leave these numbers 'lone

No, she won’t

Goodbye baby, gotta let you go

You won’t leave these numbers, oh Lord

Leave, leave these numbers alone
