I’m Not Joking lyrics

[Spoken intro]
Believe me sweetheart, I’m not joking with you

[Verse 1]
If I can only
Get my baby to believe in what I say
If I can only
Get my baby to believe in what I say
I would be with you always
And daddy would never go away

[Verse 2]
It’s so hard
To get you to believe what I say
It’s so hard, darling
To get you to believe what I say
If you just only believe me
I will stay with you always

[Harmonica solo]
Believe me, sugar

[Verse 3]
Drop my head and cry
Darling, believe what I say
Drop my head and cry
Darling, believe what I say
If you just believе me, what would you do, woman?
Stay with you darling, till I die
