Matt Minglewood - Long Way From Texas lyrics

CHORUS We're a long way from Texas, a long way from San Antoine Ain't got no Mississippi Delta man slappin' out the blues at home Way out in Nova Scotia still the blues won't leave us alone You got you Cape Breton coal miner digging for coal Trying to make a living in a dark wet hole When the eagle flies the blues begin to flow Well there ain't no way around it He's got the blues running over his soul Four in the morning the wind begins to blow Men are in the boats getting ready to go Just one thing a Newfoundland fisherman has got to know If he ain't too careful, the deep blue will take him body and soul Too many people walking around No money in their pockets Well they ain't got no steady job They do all they got to hock it They get by until the pokey money comes through Well it's down right depressing but what else can he do REPEAT CHORUS Blues won't leave us alone No, the blues won't leave us alone
