Oh, I'm gettin', yes I'm gettin' tired
A-you truckin' my blues away
I'm gettin' so tired, a-tellin' ya 'bout
The same thing ev'ryday

Now, here I sit 'chere on the fence
Now, you don't come n' get me
Ya ain't got no sense
An I'm gettin', yes I'm gettin' so tired
A-you truckin' my blues away

(harmonica & guitar)

Yes, I'm gettin', I'm gettin' really tired a-you
Truckin' my blues away
I'm gettin', oh baby, so tired
Tell ya 'bout the same thing ev'ryday

Once there was two old maids
Layin' in the bed
One turned over
N' the other one said, 'An' I'm gettin', yes
I'm gettin', tired of you
Truckin' my blues away.'

(harmonica & mandolin)

Yes, an I'm gettin' baby, so tired
A-you truckin' my blues away
Yes, I'm gettin' so tired, darlin'
Just the same thing ev'ryday

Now me an' my baby
Cimbin' up the hill
You know we playin'
Like Jack an Jill
Now I'm gettin', yes, I'm gettin' tired
A-you truckin' my blues away

(harmonica & mandolin)

Yes, an I been gettin' more tired, darlin'
Of you truckin' my blues away
'Yeah, man.'
Yes, I'm gettin' so tired
Tell ya 'bout the same thing ev'ryday
'Yeah, man.'

Oh yeah, I sit 'chere on the fence
Now, ya don't come get me
Ain't got no sense
Yes, n' I'm gettin', I'm gettin' really tired
A-you truckin' my blues away

(harmonica & mandolin)

Yes, n' I'm gettin', yes, n' I'm gettin' tired
Of you truckin' my blues away
'Yeah, baby.'
I'm gettin' so tired, darlin'
Tellin' ya about the same thing ev'ryday
'Tie your mouth .'

Well, there two old maids
Layin' in the bed
One turned over
N' the other one said, 'I'm a gettin'
Yes, 'I'm gettin' tired of you
Truckin' my blues a-
