BLUE YODEL NO. 2--(My Lovin' Gal, Lucille)
As recorded by Jimmie Rodgers, 1928. (Victor 21291-A)

If you ever had the blues, you know just how I feel.
If you ever had the blues, you know just how I feel.
I'm about to lose my lovin' gal Lucille. YODEL

I love you, woman, but I don't like your low-down ways.
I love you, woman, but I don't like your low-down ways.
You've got me in trouble and now I'm servin' days. YODEL

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

Write me a letter; send it to me by mail.
Write me a letter and send it to me by mail.
Just send it to me in care of the Birmingham jail. YODEL

Well, I ain't gonna marry, no, I ain't gonna settle down.
Lord, I ain't gonna marry and I ain't gonna settle down.
I'm gonna be a rounder 'til the police shoot me down. YODEL

You can blow your whistle; mama, you can toot your horn.
You can blow your whistle; mama, you can toot your horn.
You gonna wake up some mornin' and find your daddy gone. YODEL
