Mr. McTell Got The Blues (Take 1)

I'm leaving town, baby going to leave my home

I'm leaving town, baby going to leave my home

I'm going, where honey I'm better known

As I walk these blocks, I got to buy me some shoes

As I walk these blocks, I got to buy me some shoes

That's the reason why, Mr McTell got the blues

Got drunk last night, mama and the night before

Got drunk last night, mama and the night before

And if luck don't change, Mr McTell won't get drunk no more

Cigarettes is my ruin, whiskey is my crave

Cigarettes is my ruin, whiskey is my crave

Some of these nicelooking women, going to take me to my grave
