My Black Name Blues

Now I can hear my black name a-ringing, all up and down the line

Now I can hear my black name a-ringing, all up and down the line

Now I don't believe you love me, woman

I believe I'm just trifling away my time

Well I have the blues before sunrise, with tears standing in my eyes

I have the blues before sunrise, oh, tears standing in my eyes

Now that make me have such a funny feeling, man a feeling I do despise

Now last night I was laying down dreaming

Ah you know what I was dreaming all to myself

Now last night I was laying down dreaming

You know what I was dreaming all to myself

Now I was just saying if my woman didn't love

Me, I hope she ain't in love with nobody else

Oh you know I'm going back down in the

Country, you know where I'm going down

Maybe I'll go back down in Alabama somewhere, you know
