I woke up this morning |
|
The blues all around my bed |
|
I woke up this morning |
|
The blue's all around my bed |
|
I didn't have nobody |
|
To hold my aching head |
|
If you don't want me, woman |
|
Give me your right hand |
|
If you don't want me, woman |
|
Give me your right hand |
|
'Cause I can find me another mama |
|
And I know you can find a man |
|
I love you, Memphis |
|
You know I love, love you so |
|
Lord, I love you, Memphis |
|
Tennessee, I love you so |
|
And I'd rather be here |
|
Than any other place I know |
|
I've got my ticket |
|
I'm sure gonna ride this train, hey, hey, hey |
|
Lord, I've got my ticket |
|
I'm sure gonna ride this train |
|
I'm goin' some place |
|
Where I won't hear 'em call your name |
|
I'm goin' to the river |
|
Take me a rockin' chair, sing them blues, boy |
|
I'm goin' to the river |
|
And take me a rockin' chair |
|
And if the blues don't leave me |
|
I'll rock all the way from here |
|
I don't want you, mama |
|
And I know you don't want me, Lord, Lord, Lord |
|
I don't want you, woman |
|
And I know you don't want me |
|
So I'm goin' to New Orleans |
|
From there on across the sea |
