Anniversary Blue Yodel (Blue Yodel - No. 7) Songtext
von Hank Snow

I was a stranger passin′ through your town
I was a stranger passin' through your town
Well, I asked you a favor, good girl you turned me down
You may see me out a walkin′, talkin' down that railroad track
You may see me out a walkin', talkin′ down that railroad track
But good girl, you done me wrong, I ain′t never comin' back (it′s the truth man)

I've rode that old Southern, I′ve rode that L & N
I've rode that old Southern, I′ve rode that L & N
And if the police don't get me, I'm gonna ride them again


Now some like Chicago, some love Memphis, Tennessee
Some like Chicago, some love Memphis, Tennessee
Hey, pretty mama, give me sweet Dallas, Texas
Where the women think the world of me

You may have your trouble, I′m havin′ my troubles too
You may be havin' your troubles, I′m havin' my troubles too
Yes I know how it feels when you′re feelin' so down, down blue

I′m not singin' the blues, I'm just tellin′ you the hard luck I′ve had
I'm not singin′ blues, I'm just tellin′ you the hard luck I've had
′Cause the blues ain't nothin' but a good man feelin′ bad
