Merle Haggard - Jimmie's Texas Blues lyrics

rate me

(Jimmie Rodgers)

The way I been treated sometime I wish I were dead

The way I been treated sometime I wish I were dead

Cause I ain't got no place to lay my weary head.

When I want you woman I always find you gone

Everytime I want you I always find you gone Lord you've gone all time honey

Listen here good mama I'm gonna put your headbreaks on.

--- Instrumental ---

Yeah, some like Chicago some love old Memphis Tennessee

Yeah, some like Chicago some love old Memphis Tennessee

And give me sweet Dallas Texas where the women think a world of me

Now here's the dobro.

--- Instrumental ---

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.

I'm not singing the blues I'm telling you the hard luck I've had Lord I've had it

I'm not singing the blues I'm telling you the hard luck I've had

Cause the blues ain't nothing but a good man feeling bad.

De yodel le-ee ai-ee yodel e-ee...
