Mississippi Delta City Blues

I've got a smile that I put on
When I'm not at home, when I'm not alone
It is so hard to make that smile
'Cause I know I'll be at home and alone in a while
If I look in a mirror, I see my eyes start to tear
Can't help but cry since you said goodbye

I've got to hide
What I'm feelin' inside
Can't let them see
That you could hurt me so

Guess what I'll do
Won't let them see through
Won't let them know that you could hurt me so

I got a laugh that I put on
When I'm not at home, when I'm not alone
And it is so hard to fake that laugh
When my insides are cryin' and my heart's torn in half
And all the music I hear
Things I value so dear
Make me feel so blue, they all remind me of you

What can I do?
Oh, our love is through
My purpose is gone
And I gotta keep living on

Oh, that's what I'll do
Won't let them see through me
Won't let them know that you could hurt me so, yeah

That's what I'll do
Won't let them see through me
Won't let them know
That you could hurt me so

Nothing could be back when your mind wakes up
I gotta see that you really love me
The people won't say
That you'll do it again
They'll just look at you, darlin'
Now I'll be your friend
If you come on home
They'll just leave
Look at you, darling
They all say hello, hello

Hello, baby
Won't you come home?
Come on hold me baby
Won't you come home to me?

They said, "Would you get back to the back, back to the back?"
Back to the back, give it, give it back oh
I love you, I need yah
I love you
Now, I need yah

Don't you leave me
Don't you leave me
Don't you leave me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't you leave me

New one, thank you very much
We haven't played for a while
But huh, oh, there I am
I was talking, but I couldn't hear me
