You took me to the city baby

From a little country town

Got me way up here in the city baby

And now you want to put me down

Said come on boy let's leave here

This place ain't where it's at

So I packed up my clothes

And I took to the road

Now I can't get back

You've got me knockin' baby

You won't let me in

You've got me knockin' baby

You won't let me in

You gave me the key to your apartment

Key won't fit the lock

Now at night when I come home baby

Cryin' shame but I still have to knock

It's my own fault for leavin'

Guess I got what I deserved

But you told me that you loved me

And I believed you baby

Boy you sure got some nerve

You've got me knockin' baby

You won't let me in

You've got me knockin' baby

You won't let me in

If I ever get my hands on a nickel baby

Guess I better make it a dime

Goin' to the nearest phone booth

Get some of the home folks on the line

They all told me not to leave home

They said boy you don't know that town

You know you may not have a whole lot goin' on down here

But the home folks won't let you down

You've got me knockin' baby

You won't let me in

You've got me knockin' baby

You won't let me in
