Layin' in bed this mornin' with my face turned to the wall

Layin' in bed this mornin' with my face turned to the wall

Trying to count these blues so I could sing 'em all

Memphis

Ramport

Beale Street

set 'em, free

Memphis

Ramport

Beale Street

set 'em, free

Graveyard

'Bama Bound

, Lord, Lord, come from

stingaree

Lord sittin' on the Southern

gonna ride all night long

Lord sittin' on the Southern gonna ride all night long

Downhearted

Gulf Coas

t - they was all good songs

Lord, 'rested at midnight, Jailhouse made me loose my mind

Lord, 'rested at midnight, Jailhouse made me loose my mind

Bad Luck

'n'

Boll-Weevil

, made me think of old

Moonshine

Lord, goin' to sleep now for Mama just got bad news

Lord, goin' to sleep now for Mama just got bad news

To try to dream away my troubles, countin' these blues
