Tar Road Blues by Jaydee Short

Jaydee Short - Tar Road Blues; E position, standard tuning.

I'm gonna spread my carpet, mama, down on your floor

And if you don't want me, baby, please, won't you let me go?

Now, you ain't with me, I b'lieve I better go

Now, you ain't with Me, I b'lieve I'd better go

I'm gonna get out, down and lonesome, on this lonesome tar road

I feel so sorry, honey, and I feel so low-down

I got to get ready and walk this tar road down

Tar road, tar's stickin' all to my shoes

I ain't got no home, I don't know nothin' else to do

Now, tell me, baby, honey, what's on your mind?

Every time you get angry, puts me in the tar road all the time

I get up in the mornin' with leavin' on my mind

It keeps me always walkin' this tar road all the time

Yeah, walkin' this tar road, babe, ain't nothin' new

Walkin' this tar road, babe, ain't nothin' new

I done walked it so much 'til it done give me the tar road blues

Now, tell me, pretty mama, how can I lose? Keep me walkin' with these tar road blues,

Now, every mornin' with the tar road on my mind

I can't be with you and walk the tar road all the time
