You Waited Too Long

—Washboard Sam

Too long, you waited too long to come home
Now your daddy can't use you no more
Too long, you waited too long to come home
And that is all I can stand

Bridge:
It was late last night, about half past nine
You was in a bad tavern drinkin' bad red wine
Too long, you waited too long to come home
Now your daddy can't use you no more

Too long, you waited too long to come home
Now your daddy can't use you no more
Too long, you waited too long to come home
And this is all I got to say

Bridge:
Now I begged you baby, both night and day
Stop your sinnin' quit your lowdown ways
Too long, you waited to long to come home
Now your daddy can't use you no more
