La-De-De, La-De-Da - Original

When your money's gone friends have turned you down

And you wander 'round just like a hound

A lonesome houn'

Then you stop to say Let me go away from this old town

This awful town

There's a place I know folks won't pass me by

Dallas Texas that's the town

I cry

Oh hear me cry

And I'm going back

Going back to stay there 'til I die

Until I die

I've got the Dallas blues and the Main Street heart disease

It's buzzin' 'round

I've got the Dallas blues and the Main Street heart disease

It's buzzin' 'round

Buzzin' 'round my head

Like a swarm of little honey bees

Of honey bees

When I got up north clothes I had to spare

Sol 'em all to pay my railroad fare

My railroad fare

Just to come back there ridin' in a Pullman parlor chair

A parlor chair

Sent a telegram this is what I said

'Baby bring a cold towel for my head

My achin' head

Got the Dallas blues and your lovin' man is almost dead

Is almost dead

I'm goin' put myself on a Santa Fe and go

I'm goin' to go

I'm goin' to put myself on a Santa Fe and go

I'm goin' to go

To that Texas town where you never see the ice and snow

The ice and the snow
