I’m tore down, I’m almost level with the ground.

I’m tore down, I’m almost level with the ground.

Well, I feel like this when my baby can’t be found.

I went to the river to jump in.

My baby showed up and said, “I will tell you when.”

Well, I’m tore down, I’m almost level with the ground.

Well, I feel like this when my baby can’t be found.

I love you babe with all my heart and soul;

Love like mine will never grow old.

Love you in the morning and in the evening too.

Every time you leave me I get mad with you.

Chorus

Twenty-four Bar Blues Solo

I love you baby with all my might;

Love like mine is out of sight.

I’ll lie for you if you want me too.

I really don’t believe that your love is true.

Chorus

I’m tore down, I’m almost level with the ground.

Well, I’m tore down, I’m almost level with the ground.

Well, I feel like this when my baby can’t be found.
