The Marshall Tucker Band - Bob Away My Blues lyrics

rate me

Well I'm goin' down to the river<br />

I've got a canepole in my hand<br />

I've got my redworms in a Maxwell house coffee can<br />

I'm gonna sit under ashade tree on a riverbank where it's cool<br />

I'm gonna close my eyes and dream and let the cork Bob away my blues<br />

<br />

Well I wake up every mornin' I pick peaches all day<br />

And on Saturday night we'll have a dance or two we might waller in the hay<br />

Now the only thing that ever whipped my pa<br />

Was this bad dude called old age<br />

And his last years was his best years<br />

And this is what he had to say<br />

<br />

He said boy I've worked this dirt all my life but things ain't been good for awhile<br />

Why don't you move to the city make a little money you might be the first one in<br />

The family ever to die with a smile<br />

Well I took his advice things goin' well<br />

But my friends are far and few<br />

But whoever said a city boy can't have the country blues<br />

Whoever said a city boy can't have the country blues<br />

Whoever said a city boy can't have the country blues<br />

Well honey they ain't talked to me and you<br />

<br />

<br /><br /><br />
