(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.
