(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.
