Blues and trouble follow me everywhere I go.
Blues and trouble follow me everywhere I go.
Blues is my silhouette trouble my shadow.
Blues and trouble always go hand and hand
Blues and trouble always go hand and hand.
When they shake on a deal they always get their man.
Bad luck, blues and trouble count them now 1,2,3
Bad luck, blues and trouble count them now 1,2,3
Put them all together they will not let me be.

I been looking all day long
can't find no job.
Ain't gonna be no millionaire
I ain't gonna steel or rob.
Running wild, Running wild.
Go down to the pool room
shoot a game or two.
I could grab my pole and line
go downy the slew.
Running wild, running wild.
I don't have my baby
I don't have my car
I can't even pay my bills
playing my old guitar
I'm running wild, running wild
I been all up and down this state
time after time
Been playing these blues into the night
It's a hustle and a grind
Running wild, running wild.

Nothings wrong, theres nothing worrying me.
Sitting in the shade of this willow tree.
Goodbye, goodbye trouble go by.
Mississippi River so deep and wide
I'm so glad I'm living trying to be satisfied.
Goodbye, goodbye trouble go by.
Been around the world Got home today.
Everywhere all the people would say
Goodbye, goodbye trouble go by.
When things go wrong and they don't work right.
Worry all day long get the blues at night
Goodbye, goodbye trouble go by.
The sun may shine or it may be cold
Or you be caught sleeping outdoors.
Goodbye, goodbye trouble go by.

Tell me what in the world is the matter now

I got blues in my hometown
I got them out on the road
I got them there about
Everywhere I go
Tell me what in the world is the matter now
Trying to get my life together
But I don’t know how
I got blues every day
Got ‘em just about every night
They always come around
When I am in my sights
Tell me what in the world is the matter now
Trying to get my life together
But I don’t know how

When I worry about this and that.
I let it go with a drop of my hat.
When I'm high, high on a mountain of blue.
When a bad comes, down on me.
I just go and let it be.
When I am high, high on a mountain of blues.
This crazy world goes round and round.
I don't let that get me down.
When I'm high, high on a mountain of blues.
When things go wrong then some bad.
I don't let that get me mad.
When I am high, high on a mountain of blues.
Up on a mountain, wind hollin' by
Hollin' wind don't tell no lies.
When you are high, high on a mountain of blues.

Pounded them spikes and lying that track.
We are walking down Chicago, Northwester line.
Walking east with the wind at our back.
Up and down this railroad track.

Rolling by at a half past night.
Big wheels here, big wheels there.
They don't worry, they don't care.
They are rolling down Chicago Northwester line.

CJW is a fast freight train.
Rockin and rollin down the line.
92 is making up time
high ballin down the line.
Whistle blowing in the driving rain
Whoopin that storm that might train.
She was freight train 92
Comin down from Waterloo.
Gandy dancing in the blazing sun.
Changin rail one by one.
Brakeman train is in the hole.
Waiting on the flag to let them roll.
Engineer using the section gang.
Get out of the way of this dog gone train.
She was freight train 92.
Coming down from Waterloo.
Riley hit the boss in the eye.
Knocked him down across the ties.
Section gang down in the ditch
Waiting on Willie to throw the switch.
Engineer laughing at the show.
The dog gone train has got to go.
She ws freight train 92
Coming down from Waterloo.

Bye You Bye

Blue Jay said to the old bull frog.
Can I dance across your log?
By you by. By you by.
Take you on down to Prairie du Chien.
Jump on a boat called the Delta Queen.
By you by. By you by.
Hound dog sitting on my back porch.
Chasing them flies with a cetlane torch.
By you by. By you by.
Owl said hawk won't you fly with me.
Fly across this galaxy.
By you by. By you by.
Sail across the deep blue sea.
Can I go won't you take me.
By you by. By you by.
Telephone jumped off my wall.
Must have been a long distance call.
By you by. By you by.
By you by. By you by.
By you by. By you by.
By you by. By you by.
