Thirty Days

I'm gonna give you thirty days to get back home
I done talked to the gypsey woman on the telephone
She gonna send out a world wide hoodoo
that'll be the very thing that'll suit ya
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days
Oh thirty days (thirty days!)
Oh thirty days (thirty days!)
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days
Gonna send out a world wide hoodoo
that'll be the very thing that'll suit ya
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days.

I done talked to the judge in private early this morning
And he took me to the sheriff's office to sign a warning (warrant?)
Gonna put a false charge again ya (against ya)
That'll be the very thing that'll send ya
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days
Oh thirty days (thirty days)
Oh thirty days (thirty days)
Baby I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days
Gonna put a false charge again ya
that'll be the very thing that'll send ya
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days

If I don't get no satisfaction from the judge
I'm gonna take it to the FBI and voice my grudge
If they don't give me no consolation
I'm gonna take it to the United Nations
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days
Oh Thirty Days! (thirty days)
Oh Thirty Days! (thirty days)
Babe I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days
You don't give me no consolation
I'm gonna take it to the United Nations
I'm gonna see that you be back home in Thirty Days!

I'm gonna give you forty days to geta back home

I'm gonna call up the gypsy woman on my telephone
I'm gonna tell the world wide who doo
That'll be the very thing that I do do
I'm gonne see that she'll be back home
In forty days

Yea, in forty days
Forty days
I'm gonne see that she'll be back home
In forty days
I'm gonna tell the whole wide world who doo
That'll be the very thing that I do do
I'm gonne see that she'll be back home
In forty days

Well, I was talking to the judge in private early this morning
When the sherriff came along and took me without any warning
He said: I'm setting the charge up, to get ya
That'll be the very thing that'll hang ya
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home
In forty days

In forty days

That'll be the very thing that I do do
I'm gonne see that she'll be back home

Well, I was talking to the judge in private early this morning
When the sherriff came along and took me without any warning
He said: I'm setting this charge up for gettin you
But that'll be the very thing that'll hang ya
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home
In forty days

In forty days
Forty days
I'm gonne see that you'll be back home in forty days
In forty days
I'm gonna tell the whole wide world who doo
That'll be the very thing that I do do
I'm gonne see that she'll be back home in forty days
I'm gonne see that she'll be back home in forty days
I'm gonne see that she'll be back home in forty days

 

 

Chuck Berry - Thirty Days:

I'm gonna give you thirty days to get back home
I done called up the gypsy woman on the telephone
She gonna send out a world wide hoodoo
That'll be the very thing that'll suit you
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days
Oh thirty days (thirty days)
Oh thirty days (thirty days)
Baby, I'm gonna see that you'll be back home in thirty days
Gonna send out a world wide hoodoo
That'll be the very thing that'll suit you
I'm gonna see that you'll be back home in thirty days.

I done talked to the judge in private early this morning
And he took me to the sheriff's office to sign a warrant
Gonna put a cross charge agin' ya
That'll be the very thing that'll send ya
I'm gonna see that you'll be back home in thirty days
Oh thirty days (thirty days)
Oh thirty days (thirty days)
I'm gonna see that you'll be back home in thirty days
Gonna put a cross charge agin' ya
That'll be the very thing that'll send ya
I'm gonna see that you'll be back home in thirty days

If I don't get no satisfaction from the judge
I'm gonna take it to the FBI and voice my grudge
If they don't give me no consolation
I'm gonna take it to the United Nations
I'm gonna see that you'll be back home in thirty days
Oh thirty days (thirty days)
Oh thirty days (thirty days)
Baby I'm gonna see that you'll be back home in thirty days
You don't give me no consolation
I'm gonna take it to the United Nations
I'm gonna see that you'll be back home in thirty days
