Ry Cooder - Police Dog In Blues lyrics

(Arthur Blake, adapted by Ry Cooder) All my life I've been a travellin' man All my life I've been a travellin' man Stayin' alone and doing the best I can I ship my trunk down to Tennessee Ship my trunk down to Tennessee It's hard to tell 'bout a man like me I had a gal, I couldn't get her off my mind I had a gal, I couldn't get her off my mind She pa**ed me up saying she didn't like my kind Scared to bother around the house that night I'm scared to bother around the house that night Got police dogs cravin' for a fight His game is rambling when he gets the chance His game is rambling when he gets the chance He leaves his mark on everybody's pants Guess I'll travel, guess I'll let her be Guess I'll travel, guess I'll let her be Before she sets that police dog on me
