Jonestown Blues

Man, I left Lula, went to Jonestown
Man, I left Lula, went to Jonestown
That old Jonestown ground, boy, sure did make me frown.
Play it now, boy.
So I left Jonestown, too small a burg for me
I said, Jonestown too small a burg for me
Well, I left Jonestown, went back to Tennessee
Well, Jonestown, boy, too small a burg for me
Said, Jonestown, boy, too small a burg for me
I left Jonestown, made for/Macon? Tennessee
When I got up to Memphis, I lie my banjo down
Said when I got to Memphis, I lie my banjo down
I got filled mind with whiskey, you'd gone & made me clown
