Tennessee Blues - Bill Monroe

(Album: Mule Skinner Blues; Monroe)



If I had my way I'd leave here today 

I'd leave in a hurry 

I'd find me a place where I could stay 

And not have to worry 



A place I could use 

A place I could lose the Tennessee Blues 



I'd find me a spot on some mountain top 

With no one around me 

Valleys and streams, birds in the trees 

And hills that surround me. 



I'd try to forget all my regrets 

I'd keep just the good times 

I'd wake and I'd sleep, nothing but peace 

Feel free all the time.
