Shelby County Blues Songtext
von Memphis Slim

My home is Shelby county, that′s where I long to be
My home is Shelby county, that's where I love to be
Well I got women down there, mean the world and all to me

You can take my Shelby county women, you can stand them all in a line
You can take my Shelby county women, you can stand them all in a line
Well and then you can count them out,
One two three four five six seven eight nine


Must be dead and buried, lord I just ain′t never heard
Well all right,
she must be dead and buried, lord I just ain't never heard
Because she won't write me no letter or at least won′t send no word

Let it on Johnny boy,
′cause I'm going back to old Shelby if I don′t stay but a day

I got gal on my gal, got a kid gal on my doggone kid
I got a gal on my gal, got a kid gal on my doggone kid
Sometimes my kid gal gets so buggy, she can hardly keep in
