Lonesome City Blues

作词 : Linda Hargrove

作曲 : Dougherty John Joseph

[Verse 1]

A country girl leaves home

With a dream of what she'll find

Leavin' what she's always felt above

Leavin' with a future that she's seen inside her mind

Lookin' for a taste of life and love

[Chorus]

If there's magic in the city, it's a pity

'Cause I ain't seen none yet

It's that country life I can't forget

And I'd gladly trade the shoes upon my feet to take her place

Just before she steps aboard that train

If I were in her shoes I know I'd turn around, turn around

And trade away these Lonesome City blues

[Verse 2]

A country girl is bored

With all the folks she's known so well

Bored with all the faces that she's seen

Bored with all the gossip that the grown-ups find to tell

Lookin' for a way to fill a need

[Chorus]

If there's magic in the city, it's a pity

'Cause I ain't seen none yet

And it's that country life I can't forget

And I'd gladly trade the shoes upon my feet to take her place

Just before she steps aboard that train

If I were in her shoes I know I'd turn around, turn around

Trade away these Lonesome City blues

[Outro]

And trade away these Lonesome City blues

And trade away these Lonesome City blues

Trade away
