Arkansas Blues Lyrics
Arkansas Blues - Mildred Bailey
Blues have overtaken me
I'm so weary days are full of gloom
Homesickness has got me down in mind
Way down in old Arkansas
In old Dixie my log cabin home
Where the southern folks are good and kind I find;
I see the right track
I got my trunk packed
And I have asked the good Lord to take the train back
That's headin' south;
Take me to Dardanelle
Ain't got no time to lose
I'm tired o' roamin
I'm tired o' roamin
I long to see my mammy and my home in
Old log cabin land way down in the dell
I've got the Arkansas blues
Yes I've got the Arkansas blues
Blues just make me weep and cry
I'm so lonesome don't know what to do
Miss the good old days that used to be
Oh what a fool am I
To be grievin' to be feelin' blue
For my mammy's waitin' patiently for me
I'm on the right track
I've got my trunk packed
And I have asked the good Lord to take the train back
That's headin' south;
Take me to Dardanelle
Ain't got no time to lose
I'm tired o' roamin
I'm tired o' roamin
I long to see my mammy and my home in
Old log cabin land way down in the dell
I've got those Arkansas blues oh-ho
I've got the Arkansas blues
