Well my home's in the delta,
Way out on that farmer's road.
Now you know I'm leaving Chicago,
And people, I sure do hate to go.

Now you know I'm leaving here in the morning,
Won't be back no more.
Well I know my little baby,
This girl don't know what a-shape I'm in.

You know I haven't had no lovin'
Boy you know, in God knows when.
Now you know I just been sittin' here thinkin'
Wondering where in the world she benn.

Look out.

Well I feel like cryin'
But you know, the tears won't come down.
I feel like cryin'
But you know the tears won't come down.

Ah, you know I got a funny feelin'
I'm gonna have to leave your town.

Hmmmmmmm, hmmmmmmmm
Have mercy.
Hmmmmmmmm, hmmmmmmmm

Ah, you know I just been sittin' here thinkin'
Wondering where in the world she been.
