LINEBORO BLUES

Ross H.L. Bowen

I woke up this mornin'
Had to pay my dues
I woke up this mornin'
Nothin' else to lose
My baby up and left me
N' I got the LINEBORO BLUES.

She packed all of her things
Took off in the night
Got a U-Haul trailer
And she disappeared from sight.
She's gone, she's gone this mornin'
N' I got the LINEBORO BLUES.

She took off with a lover
Bound for New Mexico
Yeah, took off with a lover --
Any way but slow.
Doggone that Trav'lin' salesman
Gave me the LINEBORO BLUES.

I'm gonna tell her brothers,
Aunts and uncles too...
Gonna ask my pappy
Just what I can do.
Because she's gone this mornin'
I got these LINEBORO BLUES

If he gets your woman,
Takes off with her, too
Leaves you feelin' lonesome,
Nothin' else to do.
Come to the Midway Tavern,
N' we'll sing these LiINEBORO BLUES
