Roamin' Blues Lyrics

Left Chicago in the summer, New York in the fall
Detroit in the winter didn't prove a thing at all

I got those roamin' blues
Yes I got those roamin' blues
Can't find no place to settle
Woo I got those roamin' blues

Joined a club in old Saint Louis, that G.I. free loot club
Stood in line so long man, wore my legs down to a nub

I hit the road again
Yes I hit the road again
Can't find no place to settle
So I hit the road again

I thought I'd made it Jack in good old Albuquerq'
I was on the wrong track, you know they tried to make me work

I hit the road right quick
Yes that judge was much too slick
Can't find no place to settle
Woo I hit the road right quick

Then Las Vegas was the next stop, that fast town left me weak
The dice man made twelve passes and I was up the well-known creek

Those gamblers put me down
Yes I had to walk right out of town
Mm-mm, that ain't no place to settle
I had to walk right out of town

Ah but I hit the greatest town of all, Frantic Frisco
Got me a gal with plenty gold, she just won't let me go

I think I've found a place
Yes I got my boots all laced
Found me a home, I don't have to roam, it's good news
I've lost those roamin' blues
