DOWN HOME BLUES
By: Dixie Hall (BMI)

VERSE 1: THE OLE DOWN HOME BLUES IS A LITTLE LIKE THE FLU
THERE AIN'T VERY MUCH THAT MODERN MEDICINE CAN DO
IF YOU SHOULD GET A HEARTACHE, I CAN HANDLE THAT FOR YOU
BUT DON'T YOU NEVER EVER GET THE DOWN HOME BLUES

CHORUS: IF YOU SHOULD GET THE DOWN HOME BLUES (BABY)
HONEY LET ME TELL YOU WHAT TO DO (DARLIN')
I'M ALWAYS HERE AT HOME JUST PICK UP THE TELEPHONE
IF YOU EVER GET THE DOWN HOME BLUES

VERSE 2: WHEN THEY FOUND POOR UNCLE ERNIE HE WAS LYING ON HIS BACK
THE DOCTOR SHOOK HIS HEAD AND SAID "ANXIETY ATTACK"
HE SAID A LITTLE LOVING HON WILL ALWAYS PULL YOU THROUGH
BUT DON'T YOU EVER GET THE KILLER DOWN HOME BLUES

CHORUS: IF YOU SHOULD GET THE DOWN HOME BLUES (BABY)
HONEY LET ME TELL YOU WHAT TO DO (DARLIN')
I'M ALWAYS HERE AT HOME JUST PICK UP THE TELEPHONE
IF YOU EVER GET THE DOWN HOME BLUES

VERSE 3: IF YOU THINK THIS SONG IS SILLY THERE IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW
YOU WON'T HEAR NOTHING LIKE IT PLAYING ON YOUR RADIO
PLAY THE MANDOLIN AND YOU CAN PLAY THE BANJO TOO
BUT DON'T YOU PLAY AROUND WITH THEM OLE DOWN HOME BLUES

CHORUS: IF YOU SHOULD GET THE DOWN HOME BLUES (BABY)
HONEY LET ME TELL YOU WHAT TO DO (DARLIN')
I'M ALWAYS HERE AT HOME JUST PICK UP THE TELEPHONE
IF YOU EVER GET THE DOWN HOME BLUES
