Red Clay Country Blues Lyrics

Bill Staines Red Clay Country Blues

Got enough money (to) make one more call
Gotta get through to my Dixie doll
I got the blues
The Red Clay Country blues
I got the blues
I just seem to lose
I seem to lose;
I gotta get back home
I got the Red Clay Country blues

I've got a dime in my hand, I sing a lonesome song
Heave knows, pal, I've been away so long
I got the blues
The Red Clay Country blues
I got the blues
I just seem to lose
I seem to lose;
I gotta get back home
I got the Red Clay Country blues

[yodeling]

Now I'vе gambled on over in reno
II playеd cards in Santa Fe
And I got hurt, almost lost my shirt
And I nearly didn't get away
I'm going down that road a-holding out my thumb
Everybody's staring at the highway bum
I got the blues
The Red Clay Country blues
I got the blues
I just seem to lose
I seem to lose;
I gotta get back home
I got the Red Clay Country blues

Yes I got enough money, make one more call
Gotta get through to my Dixie doll
I got the blues
The Red Clay Country blues
I got the blues
I seem to lose
I seem to lose;
I gotta get back home
I got the Red Clay Country blues
