Searching The Desert For The Blues lyrics
Songwriters: Mctell, Willie;
You may search the ocean, you might go cross the deep blue sea
But mama, you ll never find another hot shot like me
I followed my baby from the station to the train
And the blues came down like night and showered me
I left her at the station wringing her hands and crying
I told her, she had a home just as long as I had mine
I ve got two women and you can t tell them apart
I ve got one in my bosom and one I got in my heart
The one in my bosom, she s in Tennessee
And the one in my heart, don t even give a darn for me
I used to say a married woman was the sweetest thing that ever been born
But I ve changed that thing, you better leave married women alone
Take my advice, let these married women be
Cause their husbands ll grab you, beat you ragged as a cedar tree
When a woman say, she love you bout good as she do herself
I don t pay her no attention, tell that same line to somebody else
I really don t believe no woman in the whole round world do right
Act like an angel in the daytime, mess by the ditch at night
I m going, pretty mama, please don t break this rule
That s why I m searching these deserts for the blues
I m going, pretty mama, searching these deserts now
That s why I m walking my baby home anyhow
Lord, oh Lord
Lordy, Lordy, Lord
Oh Lordy Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord
When a woman say, she love you bout good as she do herself
I don t pay her no attention, tell that same line to somebody else
Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord
