Well I made my way from Asheville |
|
Livin in the Georgia Pines |
|
Worked my way to Alabama |
|
Didn't even make a dime |
|
Well I wish I was right there with you |
|
In my brand my new shirt and shoes |
|
Talking about our next move |
|
Thinking about these blues |
|
Well if I had a thousand dollars I'd fly home to you |
|
Take you to the smarmy river take you on a trip for two |
|
Well I'm sad lonesome rattled |
|
Money's almost spent |
|
Thinking about my baby |
|
Forgot to pay the rent |
|
Can't you see that little bird flying from pine to pine |
|
He's mourning for his true love just like I mourn for mine |
|
Too many motel rooms from bar to bar I go |
|
Ain't paying a cent here how about a drink before the show |
|
I'm feeling weary weary to the bone |
|
Everyone looks so cheery |
|
Me I'm all alone |
|
Well I'm sad lonesome rattled money's almost spent |
|
Thinking about my baby |
|
Forgot to pay the rent |
|
Walk out on the busy street no one knows my name |
|
Feel so defeated everyone acts the same |
|
Well if I had wings I'd fly away home |
|
Just to see my darling my mother back home |
