Big Town

I woke up this mornin'
Had the blues for big town
Yes, woke up this mornin'
I had the blues for big town
I'm tired of the country
Tired of all the people in the town
I packed my old suitcase
Told my family goodbye
Yes, packed my suitcase
Told my family goodbye
And my poor little wife
She broke down, she began to cry
She said, "Big fine daddy
Please don't start runnin' wild"
"Oh, don't leave me daddy
Please don't start runnin' wild
And leave me all alone
Remember I'm the mother of your child"
Well, I hit the highway
Yes, I hit that dusty trail
Yes, took the lonesome highway
Yes, I hit that dusty trail
I'm goin' to big town
And I know, know I'll never pay
I met a hep gal in big town
Boy, we really had a time
Yes, met a hep gal in big town
Boy, we really had a time
Now she's gone and left me
Didn't even leave a single dime
She spent all my money
Now she don't want my kind of jive
Ooh, spent all my money
Now she don't want my kind of jive
She said, "I meet your kind
Every day, in every hole, and every dive"
I begged for a nickel
Put it in my telephone
Yes, begged for a nickel
Put it in my telephone
Got to call my baby
Beg her please let me come back home
