ida cox - chattanooga blues lyrics
[verse 1]
goin’ up on lookout mountain
lookin’ far as i can see
tryna find the man that made a monkey out of me
reached the depot, in time to catch the cannonball
got the blues for chattanooga
won’t be back ’til late next fall
[verse 2]
down in chickamaugie, fort oglethorpe
grandest bunch of soldiers that you ever saw
on the tennessee river, down to the lock and dam
searching every mudhole
tryna find my good man, sam
[verse 3]
i was market to mccauley, east 9th street
watching everybody that i chanced to meet
at last, i saw my daddy, livin’ in tannery flats
dressed in a tailor-made suit and a brand new stetson hat
[chorus]
daddy, sweet daddy
i know you’ll quit me now
’cause i don’t need no daddy no how
trouble, trouble is all i ever find
i’m goin’ away, tryin’ to wear you off my mind
[verse 4]
down in chattanooga, there’s hospitality
the finest bunch of people in the state of tennessee
tired, tired of roaming this way
got the blues for chattanooga
i’m going back to stay someday
