I Wonder Why
by 
B.B. King 
Joe Josea 
recording of 1977 
from 
King Size (ABC 977) 
I wonder why, why my baby won't treat me right 
I wonder why, why my baby won't treat me right 
She go off every day and she won't come home 'till night 
"I'll be home" well, last week that's what she said 
"I'll be home" well, last week that's what she said 
She don't care if I don't eat 
'Cause she don't know how the rent is paid 
She's a gamblin' woman, she chases men in between 
She's a gamblin' girl, she chases men in between 
She mistreats me and she cheats me 
Meanest woman I ever seen 
The kid's in bed, I lay awake 'till broad daylight 
The kid's in bed, I lay awake 'till broad daylight 
Every now and then I wonder will my baby be home tonight
