GEORGIA BLUES
(Blind Blake)

Packin' up my duffel, gonna leave this town. (2x)
And I'm gonna hustle, to catch that train southbound.

I got the Georgia blues, for the plow and hoe. (2x)
Walked out my shoes, over this ice and snow.

Tune up the fiddle. Dust the cat and bow. (2x)
Put on the griddle, and open the cabin door.

I thought I was going to the northland to stay. (2x)
South is on my mind. my blues won't go away.

Potatoes in the ashes, possum on the stove. (2x)
You can have the hash, but please leave me the clothes.

Chicken on the roost, babe, watermelons on the vine. (2x)
I'll be glad to get back to that Georgia gal of mine.
