TRICK BAG       (by Earl King)

Intro:  F#7 F#7 F#7 G7  F#7 G7     F#7 F#7 F#7 G7  F#7 G7

F#7 F#7 F#7
G7                      F#7 G7                     F#7 G7
Twelve o'clock at night,    you walk out the door
You told me, baby, you was goin' to the drug store
But in my mind I knew you was lyin'
The drug store close at a quarter to nine


CHORUS:
  C
I saw you kissin' Willie across the fence
  G
I heard you tellin' Willie I don't have no sense
    D                      C
The way you been actin' is such a drag
         G  (n.c.)              Dm7 ... F#7 F#7 F#7 G7
You done put me in a trick bag


When I come home, you start an argument
Just to keep me from askin' where my (??) went
Walk in the front door, I hear the back door slam
Peep out my window, somebody's diggin' it on the lam

[repeat CHORUS]

(NOTE: Ed omits this verse)
We had a fight, then you got mad
Got on the telephone, called your mom and dad
They came a-runnin' down with bats in their hand
"Don't you hit her no more, you understand?"

[repeat CHORUS]

You give me a wrong, but I know I'm right
It wasn't I that started the fight
"She is my daughter, and I'm her pa
You ain't nothin' but a son-in-law"

[repeat CHORUS]
