Ohio Blues

Run & tell your ma, run & tell your pa
I ain’t a'comin here no more
I’m goin away, leavin today
Leavin right from your door

I got the ‘hio blues,
I won’t be back no more

Bring me a bisquit, bring it out hot
Dip it in your gravy pot
Don’t leave me alone with this old chicken bone
Set your bisquit right here on top

I got the ‘hio blues,
I won’t be back no more

Mrs. Jellyroll Baker, I can’t shake her
She spreads the jelly all over the town
My girl come in at half-past-ten
Just in time to turn the damper down

I got the ‘hio blues,
I won’t be back no more

Said my car broke down, my wife skipped town
I can’t buy a bucket of beer
You might find me in New York City, mama
But you sure won’t find me here

I got the ‘hio blues,
I won’t be back no more
