[Lyric] Country Boy Blues (Jack Teagarden)

Woke up this morning in my two by four room
Looked at a picture of a bride and a groom
On the social page of the big city news
Newly weds were dodging rice and shoes

My little world around me started to spin
My pride was hurtin', I was madder than sin
Never thought the time would ever be
That a shoemaker’s daughter could make a heel out of me

That gal someday I'll find
And then I'll speak my mind
Come back to a country guy
Can’t hold a candle
You with your smooth talkin' ways
She's been 'round the wash tub
Looking for the handle
And you've been around all your day

And where's my pick pocket book
The one I know that you took
The day on a taxi cab cruise
On the train I thought it funny
That you left me ticket money
Left me with the country boy blues
I was full of remorse and thinking of names
But none of them fit you right
Gonna send you a horse and call you Miss Jesse Jane
Oh, P.T Barnum was right
Next time I'm in town again I'll wear a shield of armor
From the top of my head to my shoes
No other city gal can fool a sentimental woman
And leave him with these country boy blues
