(Harmonica, mandolin & guitar intro)


Now an′ I'm goin' away, baby
Just to worry you off my mind
Now an′ I′m goin' away, baby
Just to worry you off my mind
Now an′ you keep me bothered
Worried, nearly all the time

Now an' then sometimes I feel like I′m goin'
Goin′ away to stay
Now an' sometimes I feel like I'm goin′
Goin′ away to stay
Well, I get to thinkin' ′bout my baby
I just a swear an' I can′t stay away

Now, I want you to tell me baby, baby
Just what's gettin′ wrong wit' you?
I want you to tell me baby, baby
Just what's gettin′ wrong wit′ you?
Now, an' you don′t treat me nothin'
Baby, like you used to do.

(Harp, mandolin & guitar ending)
