| 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' |
