Lyrics for I Can't Be Satisfied

Well, I'm goin' away to leave Won't be back no mo' Goin' back down south, child Don't you want to go Woman, I'm troubled I be all worried in mind Well, baby, I just can't be satisfied And I just can't keep from cryin' Well, I feel like snappin' A pistol in your face I'm gonna let some graveyard Lord, be her resting place Woman, I'm troubled I be all worried in mind Well, baby, I can' t ever be satisfied And I just can't keep from cryin' Well, now all in my sleep Hear my doorbell ring Looking for my baby I couldn't see not a doggone thing Woman, I was troubled I was all worried in mind Well, honey, I could never be satisfied And I just couldn't keep from cryin' Well, I know my little old baby She gonna jump and shout That old train delayed me Lord, and I come walking out And I mean troubled I be all worried in mind Well, honey, ain't no way in the world for me to be satisfied And I just can't keep from cryin'
