You've Been Fooling Me, Baby is taken from the Allen Brothers "When You Leave You Leave Me Sad" recorded in 1930. The Carters version was recorded in 1934.

YOU'VE BEEN FOOLING ME, BABY
As recorded by the Carter Family, 1934. (Bluebird B-5771, Montgomery Ward M-4548)

I don’t want you, mean mama.
There ain’t no use you hangin’ around,
For I've found another mama,
And now I am Chicago bound.

CHORUS: You've been fooling me, baby.
You've been telling me your lies,
When I thought you were an angel
Just sent down from the skies.

Sing those parting blues to me, sweet Nell.
When you leave, you leave me sad,
‘Cause my daddy's gone and left me
I just wouldn't treat him right. CHORUS

I wouldn't give him much lovin’,
Wouldn't stay home at night.
Now I hear the train a-comin’.
He has gone out of sight. CHORUS
