Verse 1
Way (C major) down in southern West Virginia
Lived a girl they called Imogen (G major) e
Now old man died
Left for all his money
He (F major) was a (G major) coal field king
(C major) Now Imogene told me
You'll be my husband
I'll dress you in padded leather shoes (F major)
Well, hello, good times
So (C major) long, (A major) Ramlet
Good (D major) bye down (C major) and out blues
Now (G major) (C major) mama she told me
Don't marry for money
She may act just like a (G major) queen
She may be rich
But there's always a hitch
She can (F major) talk sweet and (G major) still be (C major) mean
Now buddy I know
Don't you marry for dough
I remember when I didn't have (F major) any
I'm telling you son
If you marry (C major) my (A major) man,
you're (D major) gonna burn (G major) (C major) in hell,
son (G major) (F major) (G major)
(C major)
(F major) (C major) (A minor) (C major) (D major) (G major)
(B flat major) (C major)
Now, Emma Jean,
she never took her hair down
She just loafed around all day
dressed in her slip
(G major) Now, I couldn't drink beer
or smoke my cigars
She was (F major) so good at crackin' (G major) that whip
(C major) Now, old Emma Jean's
half Indian and half
And I'm just a coyote howl (F major) in'
Cause she's either on the warpath
Or (C major) sittin' round the house
(A minor) Stretched (D major) out on her (G major) tail
in the growlin' (C major) (A minor)
Now (C major) breakfast in bed
ain't so bad for your head
If you're layin' there enjoyin' the (G major) slack
But it ain't so much fun if
you're the one carryin'
While she's (F major) propped up (G major) in (C major) the sack
Now, buddy, I know,
don't you marry for dough
You'd be better off with
holes in your (F major) shoes
Well, I'm gonna run,
being rich (C major) ain't no (A minor) fun
(A major) Hey, (D major) just won't you give me back (G major) ,
(D major) just won't you (G major) give me
Hey, (D major) hey, just won't you (G major) give
me back my (C major) blues (F major)
I'm gonna run, being rich (C major) ain't no (A minor) fun
(C major) Hey (D major) judge, won't you (G major) give me back my (C major) blues?
Gimme back my blues
