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'
