Keep On Knocking

Lil Johnson

Compositor: Mississippi John Hurt

Keep knockin' and you can't come in
Keep knockin' and you can't come in
Keep knockin' and you can't come in
I guess you better let me be

Kinda busy and you can't come in
Kinda busy and you can't come in
Kinda busy and you can't come in
I guess you better let me be

Got your daddy and you can't come in
Got your daddy and you can't come in
Got your daddy and you can't come in
I guess you better let me be

(spoken:
Yes, yes, I know you want to come in
I'm so sure you can't come in 'cause I ain't even botherin')

You can open the transom1 but you can't come in
You can open the transom but you can't come in
You can open the transom but you can't come in
I guess you better let me be

I hear you tippin' but you can't come in
I hear you tippin' but you can't come in
I hear you tippin' but you can't come in
I guess you better let me be

(spoken:
Knock, knock, knock
I know you're worried, big boy)

Shake my doorknob but you can't come in
Shake my doorknob but you can't come in
Shake my doorknob but you can't come in
I guess you better let me be

I know you're worried, but you can't come in
I know you're worried, but you can't come in
I know you're worried, but you can't come in
I guess you better let me be

(spoken:
Knock, knock, knock!
You can't come in here!)
