I've got the blues, those Nashville blues
The people here, the people here,
The people here, they treat me fine
I've got the blues, I've got the blues,
I've got the blues, I've got a man
Somebody stole that gal I had
She's gone, she's gone, away from me
One thing she left, she left me free
I wish I was a turtle dove,
I wish I was a turtle dove
I'd fly away to the girl I love
It's hard to tell what a girl will do
It's hard to tell what a girl will do
They'll win your love and
I'm going home to Arkansas,
I'm going home to Arkansas
Gonna stay right there with Ma and Pa
If you find me sad, please go away
If you find me sad, please go away
Come back again, some other day
