Doc Watson Jimmie`s Texas Blues Lyrics

Jimmie`s Texas Blues Lyrics

The way I been treated, some time I wish I was dead;

The way I been treated, some time I wish I was dead;

[SPOKEN] Lord know...

'Cause I ain't got no place

To lay my weary head.

[YODEL]



When I want you, woman, I always find you gone;

Ev'rytime I want you, always find you gone;

[SPOKEN] You're always gone...

Listen here, good mama,

I'm gonna put your air brakes on.



[YODEL]



Some like Chicago, some love Memphis, Tennessee;

Some like Chicago, some love Memphis, Tennessee.

[SPOKEN] Ask sweet mama...

Give me sweet Dallas, Texas,

Where the women think the world of me.

[SPOKEN] Hey, hey, hey...



[YODEL]

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.

[SPOKEN] Have mercy, Lord...



[YODEL]

I'm not singin' the blues, I'm tellin' you the hard luck I've had;

I'm not singin' blues, I'm tellin' you the hard luck I've had.

[SPOKEN] Baby, I've had it, too...

The blues ain't nothin' but a good man feeling bad.



[YODEL
