Memphis Yodel Lyrics - Jimmie Rodgers

I woke up this morning 

The blues all around my bed 

I woke up this morning 

The blue's all around my bed 

I didn't have nobody 

To hold my aching head 

If you don't want me, woman 

Give me your right hand 

If you don't want me, woman 

Give me your right hand 

'Cause I can find me another mama 

And I know you can find a man 

I love you, Memphis 

You know I love, love you so 

Lord, I love you, Memphis 

Tennessee, I love you so 

And I'd rather be here 

Than any other place I know 

I've got my ticket 

I'm sure gonna ride this train, hey, hey, hey 

Lord, I've got my ticket 

I'm sure gonna ride this train 

I'm goin' some place 

Where I wont hear 'em call your name 

I'm goin' to the river 

Take me a rockin' chair, sing them blues, boy 

I'm goin' to the river 

And take me a rockin' chair 

And if the blues don't leave me 

I'll rock all the way from here 

I don't want you, mama 

And I know you don't want me, Lord, Lord, Lord 

I don't want you, woman 

And I know you don't want me 

So I'm goin' to New Orleans 

From there on across the sea
