Got enough money making one more call,
Got to get through to my dixie doll.
I got the blues
The Red Clay Country Blues,
I got the blues, just seem to lose, I seem to lose
I got to get back home,
I got the Red Clay County Blues.
I got a dime in my hand, I sing a lonesome song;
Heaven knows, pal, I been away so long.
I got the blues
The Red Clay Country Blues,
I got the blues, just seem to lose, I seem to lose
I got to get back home,
I got the Red Clay County Blues.
Now I've gambled all over in Reno,
I've played cards in Santa Fe,
And I got hurt, almost lost my shirt,
And I nearly didn't get away.
I'm going down that road a-holding out my thumb;
Everybody's staring at the highway bum.
I got the blues
The Red Clay Country Blues,
I got the blues, just seem to lose, I seem to lose
I got to get back home,
I got the Red Clay County Blues.
Got enough money making one more call,
Got to get through to my dixie doll.
I got the blues
The Red Clay Country Blues,
I got the blues, just seem to lose, I seem to lose
I got to get back home,
I got the Red Clay County Blues.
