Layin’ in my bed with my face turned to the wall
Lord, layin’ in my bed with my face turned to the wall
Tryin’ to count these blues, so I could sing them all

Memphis, Rampart, Beale Street, set them free
Lord, Memphis, Rampart, Beale Street, set them free
Graveyard and ‘Bama Bound, Lord, Lord, come from Stingaree

Lord, sittin’ on the Southern, gonna ride, ride all night long
Lord, sittin’ on the Southern, gonna ride all night long
Down Hearted, Gulf Coast, they was all good songs

Lord, ‘rested at midnight, Jail House made me loose my mind
Lord, ‘rested at midnight, Jail House made me loose my mind
Bad Luck and Bo-Weevil made me think of old Moonshine
