Jimmie Rodgers - Memphis Yodel lyrics

[Jimmie Rodgers - Memphis Yodel lyrics]

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
