I Hear You Knockin’

I Hear You Knockin' - Smiley Lewis

You went away and left me

Long time ago

Now you're coming back knocking on my door

I hear you knocking

But you can't come in

I hear you knocking

Go back where you've been

I begged you not to go

But you said goodbye

Now you're coming back telling me all your lies

I hear you knocking

But you can't come in

I hear you knocking

Go back where you've been

I told you we back in '52

I would never go with you

I hear you knocking

But you can't come in

I hear you knocking

Go back where you've been

You'd better go back to your used-to-be

'Cause you love you ain't good for me

I hear you knocking

But you can't come in

I hear you knocking

Go back where you've been
