Now, woke up this mornin', couldn't hardly see
Snow on the ground 'bout eight foot deep
Lord, have mercy, baby, what gon' come of me?
You know I feel just like easin' back down into Tennessee
Now Carl Williams in the office wants to see you alone
I can't do nothin' where this white stuff on
Lord, have mercy, baby, what's gon' come of me?
You know I feel just like easin' back down into Tennessee
Now, I'm on the South Side, my buddy on the East
I don't know whether he's got any place to sleep
Lord, have mercy, honey, what's gon' come of me?
You know I feel just like easin' back down into Tennessee
Said, car can't go, [mountain] too slick
Prob'ly might slip back off in a ditch
Lord, have mercy, honey, what's gon' come of me?
You know I feel just like easin' back down into Tennes
Now, twenty-two twenty-four West Hubbard Avenue
That's where you get my 1938 blues
Lord, have mercy, baby, what's gon' come of me?
You know I feel just like easin' back down into Tennessee
