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'
