How Many More Years
Burnett, Chester Arthur
How many more years, have I got to let you dog me around
How many more years, have I got to let you dog me around
I'd soon rather be dead, sleeping six feet in the ground
I'm gonna fall on my knees, I'm gonna raise up my right hand
I'm gonna fall on my knees, I'm gonna raise up my right hand
Say I'd feel much better darling, if you'd just only understand
I'm going upstairs, I'm gonna bring back down my clothes
I'm going upstairs, I'm gonna bring back down my clothes, do them all
If anybody ask about me, just tell'em I walked out on

Note: Wolf's first phonograph recording, made in Memphis in
1950, and released on the Chess record label. The 78 RPM
record "How Many More Years and Moanin' at Midnight" sold
60,000 copies, a major hit at that time.
