When My Heart Beats Like a Hammer
B.B. King & Eric Clapton Lyrics
When my heart starts beating like a hammer
And my eyes get full of tears
Oh, when
When my heart starts beating like a hammer
And my eyes get full of tears
You know you've only been gone twenty-four hours, baby
Oh, but it seems like
It seems like a million years
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, that 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
Oh, I ain't got nothing, I ain't got nothing now, baby
Babe, and it's all on
It's all on account of you

B.B. King & Eric Clapton are two well known blues guitarists. The collaboration between these two blues legends is best known for the blues album "Riding with the King" which was released in 2000.
Although Eric Clapton and B.B. King had a 30-plus years friendship originating with a chance meeting and subsequent jam session at New York City's Café Au Go Go in 1967, the idea for a collaborative album only crystallized during the sessions for King's 1997 album Deuces Wild.

The resulting record, "Riding with the King", is a stellar event thanks to a wealth of rich material and a solid supporting cast including Jimmie Vaughan, Joe Sample and Steve Gadd.
B.B. King's extensive catalog provides a wellspring of inspiration, including signature songs such as the smoldering "Three O'Clock Blues", alongside lesser-known numbers like the ribald shuffle "Days Of Old", and the Live at the Regal chestnut "Help The Poor". Elsewhere, King and Clapton look to guitarist Big Bill Broonzy (an acoustic "Key to the Highway") and Chicago pianist Maceo Merriweather (the slow-rolling "Worried Life Blues") for inspiration. Even the non-blues numbers are delivered with a rich subtlety befitting these guitar icons' consummate musicianship. John Hiatt's title track becomes a mid-tempo exchange between old friends, while their honeyed vocals on the standard "Come Rain or Come Shine" are worthy of Ray Charles' 1959 version.
"Riding with the King" won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album.

When my heart starts beating
Like a hammer
And my eyes get full of tears
Oohw, when my heart starts beating like a hammer
And my eyes get full of tears
You know
You've only been gone
Twenty-four hours, baby
Oohw, but it seems like
It seems like a million years
Now if I ever mistreated you, baby
You know
I didn't mean no harm
Oohw, 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
Oohw, you give me so much trouble, baby
Babe, that I don't know
"what to do"
Oohw, you give me so much trouble, baby
Baby, I don't know
"I don't know what to do"
Oohw, I ain't got nothing
I ain't got nothing now, baby
Babe, and it's all on
It's all on account of you

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

The fact that he made this a song I bet he punched her in the face a few times...
