Lyrics Jack Guthrie - I Told You Once

I Told You Once

(Jerry Irby)

I told you once and that’s enough
You know, Baby, that I don’t bluff
You gonna have to quit your flirtin’ with other men
I’m a-getting tired of your triflin’ ways
Tellin’ you Baby, it just don’t pay
Told you once and ain’t a-go tell you again

-Solo-

You stay out most every night
You know you ain’t treat me right
You always smell like a birdie when you come in
You gonna have to quit drinkin’ that booze
Or Baby, I’ll show you just who’s who
Told you once and ain’t a-go tell you again

One of these days when your end comes due
You’re gonna wonder where your daddy went to
But he won’t pay those bills, for you will do
And if you don’t change your triflin’ ways
I’m gonna catch the first fast train
Told you once and ain’t a-go tell you again

-Solo-

I told you once and that’s enough
You know, Baby, that I don’t bluff
You gonna have to quit your flirtin’ with other men
I’m a-getting tired of your triflin’ ways
Tellin’ you Baby, it just don’t pay
Told you once and ain’t a-go tell you again.
