Now, but I'm goin' back south
And start my life brand new
Now, I'm goin' back south
A-start my life brand new
Now it seem like my baby
Don't know what she wanna do

A-well now, good-bye baby
A-if you really call this 'gone'
A-well good-bye baby
A-if you really call this 'gone'
Of course, I know it's gonna worry me
A-but God knows it won't last long, now

'Well alright, John you gotted it'

(piano and instrumental and a little harmonica)

I would just wonder if my baby
Would only take me back, again?
Now, I would just wonder if my baby
Would only take me back, again?
Seems like I haven't been good for nothin'
I haven't even got no friend around

I'm walkin' around in circles
I don't know where I want to go
I'm just-a walkin' around in circles, yeah
I don't know where I want to go, yeah
Because the woman that I love
Don't want me no mo'r.
