JIMMIE’S TEXAS BLUES

(Jimmie Rodgers)

The way I’ve been treated sometime I wish I were dead

The way I’ve been treated sometime I wish I were dead Lord Lord

Cause I ain’t got no place to lay my weary head

When I want you woman I always find you gone

Everytime I want you I always find you gone

Listen here good mama I’m gonna put your headbreaks on

Some like Chicago some love Memphis Tennessee

Some like Chicago some love Memphis Tennessee

Give me sweet Dallas Texas where the women think the world to me

You may have your troubles I’m having my troubles too

You may have your troubles I’m having my troubles too

Yes I know how it feels when you’re feeling so doggone blue

I’m not singing the blues I’m telling you the hard luck I’ve had

I’m not singing the blues I’m telling you the hard luck I’ve had

The blues ain’t nothing but a good man feeling bad
