Kentucky Man Blues by Ida Cox
Performed by
Ida CoxKentucky Man Blues Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you ever had the weary blues, you know just what I mean
If you ever had the weary blues, you know just what I mean
My man's gone back to Kentucky, and left me like a midnight dream
[Verse 2]
I never missed my lovin' daddy 'til he stepped on the train
I never missed my lovin' daddy 'til he stepped on the train
Then my heart struck sorrow and tears ran down like drops of rain
[Verse 3]
Now my mind's all trouble, like the water in the deep blue sea
Now my mind's all trouble, like the water in the deep blue sea
If bad luck runs in my family, it sure has come to stay with me
[Verse 4]
They say that bad luck and trouble, they both walk hand in hand
They say that bad luck and trouble, they both walk hand in hand
You've never had bad luck until the day you lose your man
[Verse 5]
I'm goin' back to Kentucky to tell my daddy the good news
I'm goin' back to Kentucky to tell my daddy the good news
He's the only man that can cure my Kentucky blues
