Sonny Terry lyrics

Baby, I Knocked On Your Door blues lyrics

Well, I knocked on your door last night, baby,
Yes, and you wouldn't let old Sonny in.
Well, I knocked on your door last night, little woman,
Yes, and you would not let old Sonny in.
Well, you know, I'm goin' back tomorrow night,
Yes, you know, I'm gonna try my luck again.
Well, I done told you, little woman,
Well, you know, I ain't gonna tell you no more.
Well, I done told you, little woman,
Well, you know, I ain't gonna tell you no more.
Well, you know, the good book said you gonna,
Whoa, reap just what you sow.
You know, I give you all my money,
I can't stand the way you do.
You know, I give you all my money,
I can't stand the way you do.
Well, you know, you have been a good little girl,
Whoa, but you just won't be true.
Well, I'm gonna buy me a pistol, little woman,
Made up on a forty-four frame.
Well, I'm gonna buy me a pistol, little woman,
Made up on a forty-four frame.
Well, you can look down in the ground, little woman,
Whoa, you know, you can see that undertaker man.
Well, you know, I feel like snappin', baby,
Yes, my pistol all in your face.
Well, you know, I feel like snappin', baby,
Yes, my pistol all in your face.
Well, you know, some old lonely graveyard,
Yes, will be your restin' place.
