Country Boy Blues

Woke up this morning in my two by four room
Looked at a picture of a bride and a groom
On the social page of the big city news
Newly weds were dodging rice and shoes

My little world around me started to spin
My pride was hurtin', I was madder than sin
Never thought the time would ever be
That a shoemaker’s daughter could make a heel out of me

That gal someday I'll find
And then I'll speak my mind
Come back to a country guy
{?} Can’t hold a candle
You with your smooth talkin' ways
She's been {?} 'round the wash tub
Looking for the handle
And you've been around all your day

And where's my pick pocket book
The one I know that you took
The day on a taxi cab cruise
On the train I thought it funny
That you left me ticket money
Left me with the country boy blues

I was full of remorse and thinking of names
But none of them fit you right
Gonna send you a horse and call you Miss Jesse Jane
Oh, P.T Barnum was right
Next time I'm in town again I'll wear a shield of armor
From the top of my head to my shoes
No other city gal can fool a sentimental woman
And leave him with these country boy blues
