John Lee Hooker Playin` The Races Lyrics

Playin` The Races Lyrics

I don't want no woman

Playin' the races all the time

I don't want no woman

Playin' the races all the time



You know she ain't good for nothin'

She's too broke most all the time



Dreamed her number last night, yes, yes, yes

And my baby, she did the same

Dreamed her number last night

And my baby did the same



My baby got up this mornin'

And she played it just the same

Yes, man



I come home every Friday

Throws my check down on the bed

I come home every Friday

Throw my check down on the bed



My baby takes all a my money

Put it down on five, six and two, yes, yes



I don't want no woman

Play the races all the time
