When I woke up it was raining
|
Well I got soaked
|
When I woke up this morning
|
I was cold and wet and broke
|
I ain't got no destination
|
I'm just gonna follow my shoes
|
I may run on up to Dallas
|
But the fiddle player's got the blues
|
|
Feel kinda like ole Ray Charles
|
Georgia on my mind
|
Sho wish I could get there
|
I ain't got a dime
|
These hard times that I'm having
|
I guess they call it paying dues
|
That's just how things get goin'
|
When fiddle player's got the blues
|
Yeah, he's got the blues
|
|
They say playing in these beer joints
|
Kinda keeps a man in touch
|
Sho beats pickin' cotton
|
But it just don't beat it much
|
I guess it all comes down
|
To whatever life you choose
|
And you know I ain't complaining
|
It's just the fiddle player's got the blues
|
