Roamin' Blues |
Left Chicago in the summer, New York in the fall, |
Detroit in the winter didn’t prove a thing at all |
I got those roamin' blues |
Yes I got those roamin' blues |
Can’t find no place to settle |
Woo I got those roamin' blues |
Joined a club in old Saint Louis, that G.I. |
free loot club |
Stood in line so long man, wore my legs down to a nub |
I hit the road again |
Yes I hit the road again |
Can’t find no place to settle |
So I hit the road again |
I thought I’d made it Jack in good old Albuquerq' |
I was on the wrong track, you know they tried to make me work |
— ain't that a killer? |
I hit the road right quick |
Yes that judge was much too slick |
Can’t find no place to settle |
Woo I hit the road right quick |
Then Las Vegas was the next stop, that fast town left me weak |
The dice man made twelve passes and I was up the well-known creek |
Those gamblers put me down |
Yes I had to walk right out of town |
Mm-mm, that ain’t no place to settle |
Mmm, I had to walk right out of town |
Ah but I hit the greatest town of all, Frantic Frisco |
Got me a gal with plenty gold and she just won’t let me go |
I think I’ve found a place |
Yes I got my boots all laced |
Found me a home, don’t have to roam, it’s good news, |
I’ve lost those roamin' blues |
