"You've Been Fooling Me, Baby" lyrics - THE CARTER FAMILY

I don't want you any more, mama
Ain't no use in you hanging around
For I found another mama,
And now I am Chicago bound

You've been fooling me, baby
You've been telling me your lies
When I thought you were an angel
Just sent down from the skies

[Instrumental break]

Sing those parting blues to me, sweet Nell
When you leave you'll leave me sad
'Cause my daddy's gone and left me
I just wouldn't treat him right

You've been fooling me, baby
You've been telling me your lies
When I thought you were an angel
Just sent down from the skies

[Instrumental break]

I wouldn't give him much loving
Wouldn't stay home at night
Now I hear the train a-coming
He has gone out of sight

You've been fooling me, baby
You've been telling me your lies
When I thought you were an angel
Just sent down from the skies

[Instrumental break]
