Makin My Getaway

Big Bill Broonzy 
recording of July 12-13 1957, Chicago 
from House Rent Stomp (Blues Encore CD 52007), 
Cryin' in the mornin', I cry at night, 
I cry all the time, baby 
I know you don't treat me right, girl, 
but if I could, feel tomorrow, 
yeah baby, like I feel today 
Yes, I'm gonna pack up, pack up in the mornin', 
and I declare I've gotta make my getaway 
'S no need of weepin', 's no need to mourn, 
no need to cry now baby 
Because tomorrow I'm gone 
Girl if I can wake up early Tuesday mornin', 
baby, between midnight and day 
Yes, I'm gonna pack up, pack up my suitcase, 
yes, I'm gonna make my getaway 
Come here baby, put your little hands in mine, 
I've got something to tell you baby, 
I know will change your mind 
Girl, if I could just feel tomorrow, 
baby, like I feel today 
Yes, I'm gonna pack up, pack up in the mornin' 
I declare I've gotta to make my getaway 
Right by Arkansas, hello Missouri, 
I'm on my way up North my baby, 
I declare it ain't no foolin' 
Girl if I can wake up early Tuesday mornin', 
baby, between midnight and day 
Yes I'm gonna pack up, pack up my suitcase, 
and I declare I've gotta make my getaway
