Strange Land Blues

I often think of strange land
A place where I've never been before
I often think of strange land
Place where I have never been before
Because I'm havin' bad luck
Everywhere I go

Out in California
That's where I long to be
Way out in California
That's where I long to be
Because my travel and worry
Has really came down on me

Some time I wanna be in Louisiana
Down by the gulf of Mexico
Some time I wanna be in Louisiana
Down by the gulf of Mexico
And then some time I don't know
Where in the world I wanna go

Ain't it bad people
To have to give up the one you love
Ain't it bad people
To have to give up the one you love
And make you feel like
Givin' your soul to the Lord above

To look in my baby's face
Makes me feel so sad and blue
To look in my baby's face
Makes me feel so sad and blue
When she gone to a strange land
People have said she don't want you
