Jimmie's Texas Blues

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
