I Was a Fool
Elmore James

Well, I was a fool, believe what ya said
Yes, I was a fool, believe what ya said
Yes, I'm goin' back home, I wish that I was dead

I'm goin' back home, gonna leave you alone
I'm goin' back home, gonna leave you all alone
I gotta find my babe, yes, you know I done her wrong

Oh, I was a fool, to leave you yesterday
Yes, I was a fool, to leave you yesterday
I gotta find me a woman, yes, I'll change my ways

Oh, goodbye baby, I may never see you any more
Yeah, goodbye baby, may never see you any more
Well, always love you darlin', hound you everywhere you go

Who, bye, goodbye baby
Yes, goodbye baby
Yes, goodbye bye baby
Who, bye baby
Yeah, baby goodbye
