Country Blues

(chorus)
if you see my lady,
tell her i'm at home,
if you see my lady,
tell her i'm at home,

'cause Lord, she done lef' me
sittin' in the shade,
oh, yeah, she done lef' me
cold and plumb afraid.
(chorus)
well, she run away
with a country man
because he had
the master plan
(chorus)
'cause Lord, she done lef' me
standin' in the rain,
oh, yeah, she lef' me
waitin' for the train.
(chorus)
well, she run away
with a handsomer dude
but his life was ugly
his life it was rude.
(chorus)
'cause Lord, she done lef' me
burnin' in the sun
oh,yeah, she lef' me,
she said that we were done.
(chorus)
well, she run away with
a lowdown cat
caught inside his trap
just like a helpless rat.
(chorus)
its finally over
sad to say,
i've survived
to love another day
