Leroy Carr — Shady Lane Blues lyrics

Lyrics

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
