Getting work ain't easy
in the hills of Tennessee
But things are bad all over
my friends keep telling me
Even though I grew up there
and never thought I'd leave
Had too many bills to pay
seven mouths to feed
Movin' to the city was all
that I could do
Got them hillbilly blues
People here won't say goodmorning
they won't even take the time
I guess I know just how it feels
to have something on your mind
So all I want is to go back home
and fish in a mountain stream
This ol' life I'm living Lord
you know it ain't for me
They say the sun it
shines out here
but all I see is rain
Got them hillbilly blues
Got them hillbilly blues
All I want is to go back home
and fish in a mountain stream
This ol' life I'm living Lord
you know it ain't for me
They say the sun it
shines out here
but all I see is rain
Got them hillbilly blues
Hillbilly blues
Hillbilly blues
