Dry Southern Lyrics

Well my mind leads me : to take a trip down south
Take a trip down south : *it's tough to spend my round*

A train left the depot : with a red and blue light
behind
Well the blue light's the blues : the red light's the
worried mind

I hate to tell you : it ain't nobody there
If a man stay here : he stay most anywhere

I got up this morning : rambling for my shoes
The little woman : sung me a song of her worried blues

Uncle Sam wasn't no woman : but didn't he grab your man
Tell me them good‑looking womens : is on the border
raising sand

Well women on the border : drinking out of the water trough
I wish uncle Sam would hurry up : and pay these
soldiers off

I can't drink coffee : and the woman won't make no tea
I believe to my soul : sweet mama going to hoodoo me

I asked the girl did she love me : she said Lemon I
don't know how
Caught me *commentating* : yes I love you *sky high*

She has feet like a monkey : head like a teddy bear
And a mouthful of lip : I guarantee it's everywhere

I got a girl in Cuba : I got a girl in Spain
I got a brown yonder in Dallas : I's afraid to call her
name
