John Lee Hooker
I’m Going Upstairs
[Verse 1]
I'm goin' upstairs and bring down all of my clothes
I'm goin' upstairs and bring down all of my clothes
Where I go, baby, you'll never know
[Verse 2]
My mother dead and gone, my father don't want me around
My mother dead and gone, my father don't want me around
Don't you know, baby, I ain't got no place to go
[Verse 3]
You know I'm gettin' old, you don't want me no more
No, you don't
You know I'm gettin' old, baby, you don't want me no more
You'll never be with a younger stud, baby
Whoooo
[Verse 4]
Gotta have soap and water, you know I don't need no land
Have mercy I don't need it
Gotta have soap and water, you know I don't need no land
When I'm dead and gone, bury me in the deep blue sea
Mmmmm, whooooo, owwww
