Shady Lane Blues - Leroy Carr

Now I’ve got a girl: she lives down in in Shady Lane

I love that girl: but I’m scared to call her name

It’s going to be one of these mornings: swear and it won’t be long

I’m going to catch the first thing smoking: and down the road I’m going

Where I long ain’t here baby: it’s way out in the west

In the Smoky Mountains: where the eagle builds his nest

Did you ever love a girl: a girl you hate to lose

Don’t lose your temper: when you’ve been drinking booze
