RAMBLIN' JACK ELLIOTT
"Falling Down Blues"
(Furry Lewis)

Got the blues so bad it hurts my feet to walk
Got the blues so bad it hurts my feet to walk
Wouldn't hate it so bad but it hurt my tongue to talk

Oh, I feel like jumping through the keyhole in your door
Oh, I feel like jumping through the keyhole in your door
I can jump so easy your man will never know

Some people say worried blues ain't tough
Some people say the worried blues ain't tough
But if they don't kill you, they'll handle you mighty rough

Hitch up my buggy, saddle up my black mare
Hitch up my buggy, saddle up my black mare
I'm going to find my woman on the road somewhere

She caught the rumbling, I caught the falling down
She caught the rumbling, I caught the falling down
But I'll never see her, never turn around

Got the blues so bad it hurts my feet to walk
Got the blues so bad it hurts my feet to walk
Wouldn't hate it so bad but it hurt my tongue to talk
