Yeah, the day I met her 

Long, old lonesome day 

Why don't you hear me talkin'? 

Pretty mama, listen to what I'm sayin' 

We-ell, that day I found you 

A long old lonesome day 

Well, an' it seem like tomorrow 

I'll be the same old way 

Well, tell me baby 

What's gettin' wrong wit'ch you? 

Why don't you hear me, pretty mama 

Listen to what I'm sayin', bay-by? 

Tell me baby 

Baby, what's gettin' wrong wit'ch you, now? 

Well, ya don't treat me nothin' 

Baby, like you used to do 

(You got it John, take it an' keep it!) 

(harmonica - Sonny Boy & instrumental) 

Now, an remember babe 

I kneeled down on your flo'? 

Why don't you hear me 

Or listen to what I'm sayin'? 

Yee-eah, remember baby 

When I kneeled down on the floor, now? 

A-now but if you forgive me this time 

I won't never do that no mo' 

Now, but I'm goin' downtown 

See the chief police 

Why don't ya hear me talkin' 

Or listen to what I'm sayin'? 

Yee-eay, goin' downtown 

A-see the chief police 

Now because these women 'round here 

A-won't let me see no peace.
