Now an' I'm goin' back down South 

Man, where the weather suits my clothes 

Now, I done fooled around in Chicago 

Yank, I done almost froze 

Now, that I done fooled around in Chicago 

Lord, I done almost froze 

Lord, my baby, my baby 

She don't treat me good no mo' 

Now, I know the reason she don't love me 

She's wild about Mr. So an' So 

Now I know the reason she don't love me 

She's wild about Mr. So an' So 

Now an' I know my baby 

N' I know, Miss Lacey, wanna see me now 

Because my baby she didn't want me 

To come way back up here, no how 

Lord, my baby she didn't want me 

To come way back up here, no how. 

(harmonica and mandolin to end)
