Lyrics:

(John Lee Hooker)

I couldnt believe, I couldnt believe youd let me down
I just couldnt believe, I couldnt believe, you would let me down
Ive been too good to you baby, you hurt me with what you did

My friend tried to tell me, you didnt mean me no good
I didnt believe a word he said, I couldnt believe it, whoo
I couldnt believe, you would let me down
I done lost everything that I had baby,
I cant 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 dont come back no more
I couldnt believe, you let me down, baby
Im leavin now baby, done lost my home
My brand new car baby
I know, I know another man,
Gonna move in
But I cant believe, treatin me the way you did

Now baby, look-a here baby
How could you treat me the way you did baby
I just couldnt believe, I couldnt believe you would let me down,
Good as I been to you baby
Im goin now baby
All I, all I got, all I got, is on my back
Ive gotta go now baby
I better go now baby, baby
I just couldnt believe, hmmmm
Ooh, aah yeah, yeah, aye baby
