I'm Goin' Upstairs

John Lee Hooker · Other Songs - John Lee Hooker

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 will never know

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?



You know, you know, you don't want me no more

(No, you don't)

You know, you know, baby, you don't want me no more

You can love, babe, with your younger stud, baby

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho



Got a house on the water; you know I don't need no land

(Have mercy on me)

Got a house on the water; you know I don't need no land

When I'm dead and gone, bury me in the deep blue sea

Hmm, mmm, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
