Killing Floor
by 
Chester Burnett a.k.a. Howlin' Wolf 
recording of 1966 
from 
Real Folk Blues (MCA 9273) 
I should'a quit you, long time ago 
I should'a quit you, baby, long time ago 
I should'a quit you, and went on to Mexico 
If I ha'da followed, my first mind 
If I ha'da followed, my first mind 
I'd'a been gone, since my second time 
I should'a went on, when my friend come from Mexico at me 
I should'a went on, when my friend come from Mexico at me 
I was foolin' with ya baby, I let ya put me on the 
killin' floor 
Lord knows, I should'a been gone 
Lord knows, I should'a been gone 
And I wouldn't've been here, down on the killin' floor
