| Not a game you can win or lose
|
| Live to play the southern blues
|
| If you never had them, hope that you never will
|
| Cuz the race I’m in can’t be won
|
| Had more troubles, I had me a lot of fun
|
| I might get better
|
| I know that I won’t get well
|
| I went to Memphis, couldn’t win no prize
|
| Slept in the car with tears in my eyes
|
| Sunday morning drove across that river by myself
|
| Down south, down south
|
| Place I wanna be
|
| Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee
|
| I wanna spend my days oh now in that sunny land
|
| Some say man was born to die
|
| Southern women man born to make you cry
|
| But I would not mistreat you for my weight in gold
|
| Night time is the right time
|
| To be with the one you love
|
| I said oh the night time ya is the right time
|
| To be with the one you love
|
| Not a game you can win or lose
|
| Live to play the southern blues
|
| If you never had them, hope that you never will |
