Merle Travis - Re-Enlistment Blues Lyrics

Lyrics Re-Enlistment Blues - Merle Travis



My hitch was up Monday
Not a dog soljer nor more
Soljer no more.
They give me all that money
So much my pockets is sore
Pockets is sore.
More dough than I can use
Re-Enlistment Blues
Oh
Them blues.
Took my gelt to town Tuesday
Found me a big double bed
Big double bed.
I′ll find a job tomorrow
Tonight I'll maybe be dead
Maybe be dead.
Ain′t no time to lose
Re-Enlistment Blues
Oh
Them blues.
Hit the bars Wednesday
Friends put me up on a throne
(Way) up on a throne.
Found a Chinese baby
She wouldn't leave me alone
Leave me alone.
Did I give her a bruise
Re-Enlistment Blues
Oh
Them blues.
I woke up on Thursday
The walls was movin'
I swear
Movin′ I swear.
I reach′d down in my trousers
AII my pockets was bare
Nothin' was there.
I′ll really blew my fuse
Re-Enlistment Blues
Oh
Them blues.
Hit the bar again Friday
Ask'd for a free glass of beer
Free glass of beer.
Bar man he don′t know me
He just say no credit here
No credit here.
What I done then ain't news
Re-Enlistment Blues
Oh
Them blues.
