Checking up on my baby
Find out what she's putting down
Checking up on my baby
Find out what she's putting down
So many nights and days
I've been out of town
I wouldn't call home
And I wouldn't even write
I wouldn't call home
And I wouldn't even write
But I caught me a plane
I flew back the same night
Yeah
No, I wouldn't call home
And I wouldn't even write
Yeah, I wouldn't call home
And I couldn't even write
But I caught me a plane
Got back the same night
I'll tell you all what I'm going to do
Checking up on my baby
Find out what she's putting down
Checking up on my baby
Find out what she's putting down
Yeah, so many nights and days
I did put myself out of this town - going to sing
Checking, checking up on my honey
Find out what she's putting down
Checking up on my baby
Find out what she's putting down
Yeah I know she's been fooling
Talking all over town
Play something

It was like being back in 1963 and singing blues on Tuesday nights. It has a nice roll to it.
