Tennessee Blues - Bill Monroe (Album: Mule Skinner Blues; Monroe) If I had my way I'd leave here today I'd leave in a hurry I'd find me a place where I could stay And not have to worry A place I could use A place I could lose the Tennessee Blues Find me a spot on some mountain top With lakes all around me Vallies and streams birds in the trees Lakes that surround me A place I feel loose A place I could lose these Tennessee Blues A place to forget all my regrets And keep just the good times A place I could sleep with nothing but peace And Feel free at all times A place I could use A place I could lose the Tennessee Blues
