Who ever heard of a man swing when he's got the blues?
Well anyway that's the title of this tune
Says, Swing Blues
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Oh come, come and tell us
Lord I'm going off the country
Where off the country?
Sorry but I can't take you
Now how can't you man have a heart
Lord I'm going off the country
Sorry but I can't take you
When and why can't I go along, huh?
Oh there's nothing off the country a girl like you can do
You don't know me, yeah look at Alan
Oh let's play
Well after all our blues does swing if you swing it
You'd know you'd be yelling
My baby caught her sanity
Left me a mule to ride
Hey what's going on? Tell me
My baby caught her sanity
Uhuh, so you pulled out?
Left me a mule to ride
Damn it, ain't that a pretty good mule
When I don't dream pulled out
That mule laid down and died
Must have been it had a short day
Come in Thomas, let's go
Lord I'd walk from Dallas
Clear in the what you told for
I'm not kidding, I know how far it is, wide space
Lord I'd walk from Dallas (Uhuh)
Clear in the what you told for
You wouldn't stretch a toe just a wiggle
And you're stubborn for work
If I don't see my baby (Uhuh)
That won't be no work at all
Is that man serious?
Come on Tiny, let's see you play a mandolin, yeah
Aah yeah
Mean old fire man
That fire man surely look old
Cruel ol' lane engineer
He's starting to pull a throttle
Yeah, uhuh
Mean old fire man
Go ahead on boy, go ahead
Cruel ol' lane engineer
Why bother them both together?
What did they do to you?
Took my lovin' girl away
You don't have a girl
And let me standin' here, yeah
