[Verse]
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
