Your Key Don't Fit This Lock No More - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Your Key Don't Fit This Lock No More Copyright, 1898, by Windsor Music Co. Words by Fred J Hamill. Music by Paul Cohn. 
My gal and I had trouble and I have been crossed double, Now some one took the lead from me, and I'm as dead as I can be; When I got home this morning, just as the day was dawning, I found a new lock on the door, I couldn't use my key There ain't no use in weeping, when I looked up at my old home, I saw dat girl a peeping, and she was not alone; Says she, I'm too long standing, that coon you've been a handling Can't jolly me no longer, so now listen while I say: 
Chorus. Your key don't fit this lock, you best move 'round the block, You broke your plate with me, black man, you I can't see; You got your notice now, so don't you start no row, You lost your home, and your key don't fit this lock no more. 
You know you had a warning. I told you every morning, I wouldn't stand your fooling, so now you will have to leave, yes go; I used to love you truly, but you Is bad, unruly. So I have got to pass you up, I've got another beau. Now don't you get to talking and tell me what you're gwine to do. For you are from Mizzoura and I will soon show you; So, don't you start a-conning this babe with any yarning, I'm sorry for you, nigger, but your key don't fit this lock.-Chorus.
