Blue Bonnet Blues

from Lonesome Songs for Lovesick Dogs by Jim Watson

/

lyrics

Going down to Texas, got me them Blue Bonnet Blues
Going down to Texas, got me them Blue Bonnet Blues
Got them Lonestar Blues from my head down to my shoes

There's a gal down in Florida, said she hates to see me go
Gal down in Florida, said she hates to see me go
Said "Come back sweet daddy when them cold winds begin to blow"

Gonna make my way now, from the mountains to the shore
I'll make my way now, from the mountains to the shore
And when I'm down ramblin', I'm sure I'll ride some more

I've been no account and low-down, since the day I was born
No account and low-down, since the day I was born
But my bones are achin' and my boots are tattered and torn

I miss the old sawgrass, I aim to be where its warm
Miss the old sawgrass, I aim to be where its warm
I miss the magnolia, the place where I was born

That gal she is a fine one, she gets me weak in the knees
That gal she is a fine one, she gets me weak in the knees
And her kisses are as sweet as an Everglades breeze
