Blue Yodel No. 6

(album: Songs Of Jimmie Rodgers - 1951)

She left me this morning
Midnight was turning day
She left me this morning
The midnight turning day
I didn't have no blues
Until my good gal went away
Yodel lay-ee lay-ee-oh-de-lay-he

I got the the blues like midnight
The moon shining bright as day
Got the blues like midnight
The moon shines bright as day
I wish a tornad-ah
Would blow my blues away
De-yodel lay-ee lay-ee-oh-de-lee-de-lay-ee

Some of these mornings
I'm a-gonna leave this town
It's killing me, honey
One of these mornings
I'm sho' gon' leave this town
'Cause you trifling women
Really keep a good man down
De-yodel lay-ee lay-ee-oh-de-lee-de-lay-ee

When a man's down and out
You women don't want him 'round
When a man's down and out
You women don't want him 'round
But when he's got money
He's the sweetest thing in town
De-yodel lay-ee lay-ee-oh-de-lay-he

A woman will follow you
Right to the jailhouse door
A woman will follow you
Right to the jailhouse door
Then she will tell you
You can't fuss and fight no more
De-yodel lay-ee lay-ee-oh-de-lay-he

Looky here, sweet mama
See what you have done done
Looky here, mama
See what you have done
You made me love you
Your regular daddy's come
De-yodel lay-ee lay-ee-oh-de-lee-de-lay-ee
