Dailey & Vincent Head Hung Down
I woke up this mornin' in the pourin' rain
Underneath the trestle of a northbound train
Gotta get back home, I've been away too long
I'm afraid my baby gonna do me wrong
I can still see her standin' in the bright sunshine
Her blue eyes shinin' like diamonds in a mine
But I've been stranded in this one-horse town
Standing on the corner with my head hung down
Got in a little trouble in Greenwood Town
The sheriff and his brother tried to run me down
I told 'im "I'm just goin' back to Tennessee
I have a little woman waitin' there for me"
I can still see her standin' in the bright sunshine
Her blue eyes shinin' like diamonds in a mine
But I've been stranded in this one-horse town
Standing on the corner with my head hung down
When the sheriff grabbed me, well, I broke his arm
He said, "I'm gonna send you to the parchment farm."
When I asked the judge, "Hey! What did I do wrong?"
"Well son, you stayed in Mississippi one day too long."
I can still see her standin' in the bright sunshine
Her blue eyes shinin' like diamonds in a mine
But I've been stranded in this one-horse town
Standing on the corner with my head hung down
I can still see her standin' in the bright sunshine
Her blue eyes shinin' like diamonds in a mine
But I've been stranded in this one-horse town
Standing on the corner with my head hung down
Standin' on the corner with my head hung down
All right! Mighty fine!
