when my heart beats like a hammer

Singer:b.b. king

when my heart starts to beat like a hammer

and my eyes get full of tears

oh when my heart starts to beat like a hammer

and my eyes get full of tears

you know you've only been gone 24 hours baby

and baby 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

baby 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

i ain't got nothing i ain't got nothing now baby

baby it's all over and it's all on account of you
