The Reverend Double J: Music

I Hear You Knockin'

(J.J. Vicars)
October 6, 2006
Lazy Lester
Your collection of Blues albums is incomplete without an Excello Records compilation. This catchy little number by harmonica man Lazy Lester demonstrates why it's called Swamp Pop.
I hear you knockin'
I hear you callin'
I hear you every time you say my name
But it ain't no use baby
You're callin's all in vain

No need for cryin'
You did the lyin'
You tried to cheat baby you're to blame
But it's no use baby
You're cryin's all in vain

I packed my suitcase
I got my ticket
It won't be long and I'll be on my way
Yes I'm leaving
I'm really leaving
And I'm goin' away to stay
