Sonny Terry - Back Door Stranger Lyrics




[ Featuring Brownie McGhee ]

My baby - she done somethin' never done before
When I come home, had a pail up on the floor
Won't you tell me, woman, who's that left here while ago?
When I come home, who's that went out my back door?

Well, it must have been a stranger; he did not understand
Went out my back door, padlock in his hand
Now, won't you tell me, woman, who's that left here while ago?
When I come home, who's that went out my back door?

Well, I ain't gonna use no ice, gon' buy me a Frigidaire
Know that'll keep the ice man away from here
Now, won't you tell me, woman, who's that left here while ago?
When I come home, who's that went out my back door?

Well, it must have been a stranger; he did not understand
Went out my back door, hat in his hand
Now, won't you tell me, woman, who's that left here while ago?
When I come home, who's that went out my back door?

Well, I'm gonna buy my groceries, bring 'em home every day
I know that'll keep that groceries boy away
Now, won't you tell me, woman, who's that left here while ago?
When I come home, who's that went out my back door?

Well, it must have been a stranger, did not understand
Went out my back door, the passage in his hand
Now, won't you tell me, woman, who's that left here while ago?
When I come home, who's that went out my back door?
