Daddy Laid The Blues On Me - Bobbie Cryner
[Verse 1]
Way [C] back in their younger days, when they were running [G] wild
My [G] daddy had a dream, and Momma had a [C] child
He said "[C] Girl you can't be tying me down, I'm only [F] seventeen
And a [D7] man's gotta get around, if you know what I [G] mean."
Then my [C] Momma said, "Go on, as she stood and [F] cried
And my Daddy said, "I'm gone. I gotta live my life."
|[Chorus]
|And I was [C] born one summer night
|When the world loved Patsy [F] Cline
|I was [G] raised by the tracks, in a tar-paper shack
|On the Georgia-Alabama line
|Momma [C] taught me how to play and sing
|And we headed up to [F] Tennessee
|[G] Momma sold my soul on country rock and roll
|But Daddy laid the blues on [C] me
[Verse 2]
Well I [C] signed that dotted line, and I climbed my way to being a [G] star
When I [G] ran across my Daddy in a downtown Tallahassee [C] bar
He said, [C] "Girl there ain't no life on the road, you better come [F] with me."
I said "Dad, [D7] I gotta get around if you know [G] what I mean."
Daddy [C] said "Come on", with a tear in his [F] eye
I said, [G] "Sorry Daddy, I'm gone!, I gotta live my [C] life"
|[Chorus] x2
|And I was [C] born one summer night
|When the world loved Patsy [F] Cline
|I was [G] raised by the tracks, in a tar-paper shack
|On the Georgia-Alabama line
|Momma [C] taught me how to play and sing
|And we headed up to [F] Tennessee
|[G] Momma sold my soul on country rock and roll
|But Daddy laid the blues on [C] me
[Outro]
Yeah, [G] Momma sold my soul on country rock and roll
But Daddy laid the blues on [C] me
