Take Him Off My Mind
by 
Porter Grainger 
recording of October 31 1939 
from probably 
I Can't Quit My Man (Affinity 1015) 
I've cried and I worries, all night I lays and groan 
I've cried and I worries, all night I lays and groan 
I used to weigh two hundred, now I'm down to skin and bones 
It's all about my man, who has always kicked and dogged me around 
It's all about my man, who's always kicked and dogged me around 
I've tried my best to kill him, but when I do my love comes down 
I've gone to the gypsy, and beggin' on my bended knees 
I've gone to the gypsy, beggin' on my bended knees 
That man put somethin' on me, oh won't you take it off me please 
It starts at my forehead and goes clean on down to my toes 
It starts at my forehead and goes clean on down to my toes 
Oh how I've suffered gypsy, nobody but the good Lord knows 
So fix him for me gypsy, lay your money on the line 
Just fix him for me gypsy, I lay your money on the line 
Just fix him so he will love me, but please take him off my mind
