Morristown Blues Lyrics by Nicholas Payne

Winter In Morristown

2020

[Verse 1]
\nWell I woke up this morning
\nWith them Morristown Blues
\nI went to talk to my mama
\nShe said that she got 'em too
\nShe said that living in this town
\nDon't cause nothing but pain
\nAnd "One of these days I'm gonna get on outta here
\nMove to them west Texas plains"
\nWell I said "But oh Mama
\nIf you ever do leave
\nYou'll be leaving me lonesome
\nJust like you wouldn't believe
\n
\n[Chorus]
\n'Cause I can't get out of here
\nOh what's a poor boy to do
\nWhen he's dreaming of Midland
\nBut he's got the Morristown Blues?"
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nI was walking down 4th Street
\nWhen I met Miss Louise
\nShe studied me closely
\nSaid "Could you help me please?"
\nI said "I suppose so
\nWhat do you need to be done?"
\nShe said "Just come with me
\nWe'll have a whole lot of fun"
\nSo I said "Where're we going?"
\nShe said "We're headed down south"
\nBut then she was gone again
\n'Fore I could open my mouth
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nTo tell her I can't get out of here
\nOh what's a poor boy to do
\nWhen he's dreaming of Memphis
\nBut he's got the Morristown Blues?
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nWell if I don't get out of here
\nBefore Death takes it's toll
\nI'll be trusting in Jesus
\nTo take care of my soul
\nBut as for my body
\nBury it 'neath yonder tree
\n'Cause I know that old willow
\nIs the only one'll weep for me
\n'Cause Mama gone and left me
\nAnd Louise can't be found
\nAnd I ain't had much luck
\nAt finding friends in this town
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAnd I still can't get out of here
\nOh what's a poor boy to do
\nWhen he's dreaming of Eden
\nBut he's got the Morristown Blues?\n\n
