Merle Haggard - Jimmie's Texas Blues lyrics
[Merle Haggard - Jimmie's Texas Blues lyrics]
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
Every time I want you, I always find you gone
(Lord, you're gone all time, honey)
Listen here, good mama
I'm gonna put your air brakes on
Yeah, some like Chicago, some
Love old Memphis, tennessee
Yeah, some like Chicago, some
Love old Memphis, tennessee
Give me sweet Dallas
Texas where the women think the world of me
(Now here's the dobro)
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
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
Every time I want you, I always find you gone
(Lord, you're gone all time, honey)
Listen here, good mama
I'm gonna put your air brakes on
Yeah, some like Chicago, some
Love old Memphis, tennessee
Yeah, some like Chicago, some
Love old Memphis, tennessee
Give me sweet Dallas
Texas where the women think the world of me
(Now here's the dobro)
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
