I Hate the Day I Was Born Songtext
von John Lee Hooker

I used to be a bad boy
But I won′t be bad no more
Oh, bad all the time
Mother died, you know she left her child behind
Mother died and left me, Lord she left her child behind
Lord, I ain't got nobody
Sit down, yeah, and talk to me
I used to be a bad boy
Lord, all of my days
I used to be a bad boy, bad boy
Lord, all of my days
But I learned my lesson
Long time ago
Mother died, left me by myself
Mother died and left me, left me by myself
Now I ain′t got nobody
Sit down and talk to me
Mother and father, Lord, my sister and my brother
Lord, they don't know me, me no more
Got nobody, sit down and talk to me


Lord, Lord, by myself
Lord, Lord, Lord knows I'm by myself
Oh, by myself
Oh, oh, by myself
I ain′t got nobody
Sit down, sit down and talk to me
Oh, by myself
I′m so lonely
I'm so lonely, I′m so lonely, so lonely
You know I won't be a bad boy no more
I refuse, I refuse to be a bad boyWoah
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
Anymore
I learned my lesson
Long time ago
Lord, I did, I did, I learned my lesson
A long time ago
But I just won′t be
But I just won't be bad no more
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, I done got older
I done grew older
I begin to think
Looking back, looking back
Over my day
I hurt so many people
But oh yes, now, that worry me
But I won′t be
I won't be bad no more
I learned my lesson
I won't be bad no more
No more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more, no more
No, no, no, no, no
I won′t hurt nobody else
I′m sorry, I'm sorry, I′m sorry
I won't hurt nobody else
I learned my lesson, learned my lesson
Lord, please forgive me
Please forgive me, forgive me
Forgive me for my sin
Forgive me for my sin
Forgive me for my sin
Forgive me for my sin
Forgive me for my
