Banjo Blues

I got the banjo blues and I'm feeling awful, I mean awful, I mean bad
I got the banjo blues and I'm feeling awful bad
But the blues ain't nothin' but a good man feelin' bad

I had a good woman but the fool laid down and, I mean down and, I mean died
I had a good woman but the fool laid down and died
I got the banjo blues but I'm too darn mean to cry

Well Now, give me some cover, ‘cause honey, I'm getting, I'm getting, I'm cold
Now, give me some cover, ‘cause I'm getting cold
And the breeze ain't hittin' you, you're only getting old

Now the Mississippi River so long and deep and, mean deep and, I mean wide
And the Mississippi River so long and deep and wide
But my gal, she's on the Arkansas side

Well my honey babe, she is so tall and, I mean tall and, I mean thin
Well my honey babe she is so tall and thin
Likes the town's top preacher, you know she loves that gin
