MY BABY DONE LEFT ME (Jon Roberts - Bobbie Carroll) FARMER BOYS (CAPITOL 3476, 1956)
I go 'round honky tonkin' almost every night I keep on honky tonkin' till I'm feelin' just right My baby done left me Ain't that a cryin' shame My bay done left me I don't know who's to blame My baby done left me To honky tonk my blues away
I'm a-sittin' in the corner tryin' to drown my woes When passin' by my corner a doll in tight fittin' clothes Here comes my baby a-swishin' right on by There goes my baby And now I wanna cry My baby done left me To honky tonk my blues away
Oh I'm going honky tonkin', gonna ease my blues I'm going honky tonkin', shed the lead in my shoes Going honky tonkin', getting as high as a kite Going honky tonkin', till I'm feeling just right My baby done left me To booze my blues away
When I wake up I guess I'll be a sorry sight I guess I'll have more blues than I been having tonight My baby done left me Oh my aching head My baby done left me I gotta find my bed My baby done left me To honky tonk my blues away
Oh I'm going honky tonkin', gonna ease my blues I'm going honky tonkin', shed the lead in my shoes Going honky tonkin', getting as high as a kite Going honky tonkin', till I'm feeling just right My baby done left me To booze my blues away
