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
