Hillbilly Blues

Getting work ain't easy in the hills of Tennessee

But things are bad all over, my friends keep telling me

Even though I grew up there and never thought I'd leave

Had too many bills to pay, seven mouths to feed

Movin' to the city was all that I could do

Got them hillbilly blues

People here won't say good morning, they won't even take the time

I guess I know just how it feels to have something on your mind

So all I want is to go back home and fish in a mountain stream

This ol' life I'm living, Lord, You know it ain't for me

They say the sun it shines out here but all I see is rain

Got them hillbilly blues

Got them hillbilly blues

All I want is to go back home and fish in a mountain stream

This ol' life I'm living, Lord, You know it ain't for me

They say the sun it shines out here, but all I see is rain

Got them hillbilly blues

Hillbilly blues
