lyrics

(I)
I hear you calling my name,(X2)
(IV)
I hear you in the morning time, and I hear you in the evening too (X2)
(V) (IV) (I)
I could be six feet underground but I’d still shiver at the sound of you


I keep on playing my songs, (X2)
If you count the odds I’m bound to lose and my prides all black and bruised (X2)
I swear I heard you smile and say, “Now, that’s something I could use.”


So I call your name out loud (X2)
Said come on and get me Lord, I’m all dried up and just about through (X2)
You said, “Come here son, let me fill your cup, take a big drink, ‘cause there’s still work to do”

+Bridge (VI) - (VII) - (I) - (II) (X2)
+Instrumental Verse

I hear you calling my name (X2)
I hear you in the morning time, and I hear you in the evening too (X2)
I could be six feet underground but I’d still shiver at the sound of you


I keep on playing my songs (X2)
I hear you all alone sometimes and I hear you in this smokey bar too (X2)
I could be six feet underground but I’d still shiver at the sound of you


I keep on playing my songs (X2)
To me they all sound the same but this old man says he likes my tunes (X2)
Refrain:
(V) (IV)
He said, “I ain’t say that I ain’t heard better, but I got the feelin’ that I’d like your record,
(V) (IV) (I)
Reminds me of a time when my love and I used to dance all night to them juke box blues.”
Bridge with lyrics:
Outro/Bridge (VI) - (VII) - (I) - (II) (I hear you calling my name) (X4)

Jhett Black image

Jhett Black Nashville, Tennessee

Foot stomping rhythms and raucous slide guitar wage war on struggle beneath the bass/baritone howls
of Jhett Black.
After a decade of playing dive bars, the recent pandemic has forced his hands back into
the rural soil of his
youth. The blues, woven into the young man’s heart, pour out with the passionate
performance of an older soul. ... more
