| (harmonica intro) |
| Inez, my heart get to beatin’like a hammer |
| And my eyes gets a-full of tears |
| Inez, my heart get to beatin’like a hammer |
| And my eyes gets a-full of tears, now |
| You only been gone twenty-four hours |
| But it seem like a million years |
| Inez, If I ever mistreat you, mm God knows I don’t mean no harm |
| Inez, If I ever mistreat you, mm God knows, I don’t mean no harm, no Because I ain’t nothin’but a little country boy |
| And I’m a-right down over the cotton farm, now |
| Inez, I don’t believe you think I’m nothin' |
| You don’t believe, I think I’m nothin’but a clown, now |
| Inez, I don’t believe you think I’m nothin' |
| You don’t think I’m nothin’but a little clown |
| Now, an’I was lookin’for you last night |
| An’you was way on the other side of town, now |
| (harmonica) |
| Play for me, ya’all know how it feels, don’t ya Although I know you love me Inez, I know that’s the reason, I keep on hangin’around |
| Although I know you love me, now |
| Inez, I know that’s the reason, I keep on a hangin’around, now |
| Now, but now sooner when I get me some money |
| I’m gonna leave your bad luck town, now. |
