Lonesome Desert Blues

Lyrics

A fly will stick to jelly and wood will stick to glue
 But a man won't stick to a woman no matter what she do
 The wrong way, I'm bound to sue
 ♪
 That man o' mine is triflin' and he don't treat me right
 He's got another sweetie, he sees her late at night
 That is why I've got those desert blues
 ♪
 I'm gonna travel to the desert, out in the western land
 ♪
 I'm gonna hid my troubles in the burnin' sand
 Temptation, I can't refuse
 
 For that man of mine, I'm bound to lose
 My mind is like a row boat out on a stormy sea
 He's with me right now, in the mornin', where will he be?
 ♪
 No-oh, no-oh, no-oh, no, no, no
 No, no, no
 ♪
 I'm so nervous, I'm thinkin' in my shoes
 I'm burnin' up, I've got those lonesome desert blues
