Well I'm going away to live
Won't be back no more
Going back down South, child
Lord, now don't you worry more

Woman I'm troubled
Troubled and all worried mind
Well I just can't be satisfied
Just can't keep on crying

Well I'm feeling like snapping
Pistol in your face
Going to let some graveyard
Lord, be your resting place

Woman I'm troubled
Troubled and all worried mind
Yeah I just can't be satisfied
Just can't keep on crying

Yes

Yeah I'm all in my sleep
Hear my doorbell ring
Looking for my baby
Lord, seen a doggone thing

Woman I'm troubled
Troubled and all worried mind
Yeah I just can't be satisfied
Just can't keep on crying

Yeah I know my little old baby
She going to jump and shout
That old train be late, man
Lord, I come walking out

Woman I'm troubled
Troubled and all worried mind
Yeah I just can't be satisfied
Just can't keep on crying

I play bottle-neck guitar on it. It has one of the best guitar solos I've ever managed.
