Tennessee Blues Lyrics


If I've had my way I'd leave here today I'd leave in a hurry
I'd find me a place where I could stay and not have to worry
I'd find me a spot on some mountain top with no one around me
With valleys and streams and birds in the trees and lakes that surround me
A place I could use a place I could lose these Tennessee bluesA place to forget all my regrets and keep just a right time
A place I could sleep with nothing but peace and feel free an all time
A place I could use a place I could lose these Tennessee blues
A place I could lose these Tennessee blues

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Bobby Charles was actually born Robert Charles Guidry in Abbeville, Louisiana circa 1938. A regional New Orleans swamp pop fave, whose best known song was "See Ya Later Alligator". That track became a top 20 hit on Chess records in 1955, after a southern Louisiana record store owner hipped the Chicago based R&B label. Bill Haley may have made the song even more popular and accessible a year later, but Charles was first out the gate.
