Checkin’ Up on My Baby
Sonny Boy Williamson
I'm checkin' up my baby
Find out what she puttin' down
I'm checkin' up my baby
Trying to find out what she puttin down
So many nights and days
You know I have been out of town
I'm afraid to write a letter
I wouldn't even make no telephone call
I'm afraid to write a letter
I didn't make no telephone call
Cause I didn't want my baby to know
I was back in town at all
Wouldn't even call nobody
I wouldn't even be seen
I didn't talk to nobody
And I didn't want to be seen
I want to sleep off my pity as a midnight dream
Checkin', checkin' up on my baby
Tryin' to find out what she puttin`down
Checkin' up on my baby
Trying find out what she puttin down
Because I been a longtime
Since I been back in town
