Jimmy's Texas Blues

(Album: Doc Watson On Stage - 1971)

Now the way I've been treated
Sometime I wish I was dead
Yes, the way I've been treated
Sometime I wish I was 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

Listen here, sweet mama
I'm gonna put your air brakes on

Now, you may have your troubles
But I'm having my troubles too
Yes, you may have your troubles
I'm having my troubles too

Yes, I know how it feels
When you're feeling so doggone blue

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

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

Some like Chicago and some love
Memphis, Tennessee
Some like Chicago and some love
Memphis, Tennessee

Give me sweet Dallas, Texas
Where the girls thing the world of me
