I PUT MY TRUST ON YOU
(John Lee Hooker)

John Lee Hooker


I couldn't believe, I couldn't believe you'd let me down
I just couldn't believe, I couldn't believe you would let me down
I've been too good to you baby, you hurt me with what you did

My friend tried to tell me
You didn't mean me no good
I didn't believe a word he said
I couldn't believe it, whoo
I couldn't believe you would let me down
I done lost everything that I had baby
I can't believe you would let me down

You goes downtown
To the judge
You tell the judge
Everything you got, give it to me
You looked up at me
Hit the road Jack
And don't come back no more
I couldn't believe you let me down baby
I'm leavin' now baby
Done lost my home
My brand new car baby
I know, I know another man
Gonna move in
But I can't believe
Treatin' me the way you did

(guitar solo)

Now baby
Looka here baby
How could you treat me the way you did baby
I just couldn't believe, I couldn't believe you would let me down
Good as I been to you baby
I'm goin' now baby
All I, All I got, all I got, is on my back
I've gotta go now baby
I better go now baby, baby
I just couldn't believe, mmmm
ooo...aah.. yeah yeah... aye baby
