Now, I can hear my black name a-ringin`
All up an` down the line
Now, an` I hear my black name a-ringin`
All up an` down the line
Now, I don`t believe you love me
Woman, I believe I`m just drivin` away my time, now
Well now, I have this blues before sunrise
A-with tears standin` in my eyes, now
I have the blues before sunrise
Oooh, tears standin` in my eyes
Now that make me have such a funny feelin`
Man, a feelin` I`m do to sighin`
Now last night I was layin` down dreamin`
Oh, you know an` I was dreamin` all to myself
Now last night I was layin` down dreamin`
You know an` I was dreamin` all to myself
Now an` I was just thinkin` if my woman didn`t love me
I hope she ain`t in love with nobody else
Spoken:
`Oh, you know I`m goin` back down in the country
You know, where old John is`
(harmonica & instrumental)
`Believe I`ll go back in Alabama somewhere, you know`
