Lyrics:

I've got the blues, oh, Nashville blues
I've got the blues, Nashville blues
Ain't got no hat, ain't got no shoes
These people here, they treat me fine
These people here, Lord, they treat me fine
Lord, they give me beer and they give me wine

I'm going home to Arkansas
I'm going home to Arkansas
Gonna stay right there with Ma and Pa
Oh Lord, I wish that train would come
Oh Lord, I wish that train would come
And take me back where I come from

It's hard to tell what a girl will do
It's hard to tell what a girl will do
They'll win your love and leave you blue
She's gone, she's gone away from me
She's gone, she's gone away from me
One thing she left, she left me free

If you find me sad, please go away
If you find me sad, Lord, go away
Come back again some other day
I've got the blues, oh, Nashville blues
I've got the blues, Lord, the Nashville blues
Ain't got no hat, ain't got no shoes
