When My Heart Beats Like A Hammer
BB King · Other Songs - BB King
And my eyes get full of tears,
Oh, when my heart starts beating like a hammer
And my eyes get full of tears.
You know you`ve only been gone 24 hours, baby,
Oh, but it seems like, it seems like a million years.
Now if I ever mistreated you baby,
You know I didn`t mean no harm.
Oh, if I ever mistreated you baby,
God knows I didn`t mean no harm.
You know, I`m just a little country boy, baby,
And I was raised right down on the cotton farm.
Oh, you give me so much trouble, baby,
Babe, that I don`t know what to do.
Oh, you give me so much trouble, baby,
Baby, I don`t know, I don`t know what to do.
Oh, I ain`t got nothing, I ain`t got nothing now, baby,
Babe, and it`s all on, it`s all on account of you.
