You walked up yesterday and you told me you were leavin'
Left a note sayin' mama won't be back
But you'll come back again and I've got news for you dear
You won't have a home and that's a fact.

Don't you come back on your knees askin' my forgiveness
Pack your bags and move on down the line
Don't you roll them eyes at me tellin' me you're sorry
It's too late babe and it won't work this time.

--- Mandolin Instrumental ---

I've always been around Lord when you needed someone
I've played the role till I knew each line by heart
But now it's time to change won't you find another playmate
Someone who'll be glad to play the part.

Don't you come back on your knees askin' my forgiveness
Pack your bags and move on down the line
Don't you roll them eyes at me tellin' me you're sorry
It's too late babe and it won't work this time.

Don't you come back on your knees askin' my forgiveness
Pack your bags and move on down the line
Don't you roll them eyes at me tellin' me you're sorry
It's too late babe and it won't work this time.

It's too late babe and it won't work this time...
