John Lee Hooker — I'm Leaving lyrics

Lyrics

Leaving, going back down the line
Leaving, going back down the line
You don’t treat me right, baby
Goin' to Tennessee
Tennessee, here I come
Tennessee, that’s my home
Going back, Tennessee
I’m cutting out, cutting out, baby
Cutting out this morning, baby, oh yeah
Going home, cutting out, oh yeah
Now baby, you give me a normal line of jive
You told me you’ll always be my friend
I brought you here, now baby, you done me wrong
I’m leaving, leaving
I’m going back down the line
Down the line, oh yeah
When you say goodbye
When you say goodbye, oh baby
