Stay-in a-lone and do-in the best I can


I shipped my trunk down to Tennessee 2X
Hard to tell about a man like me

I met a gal, 
I couldn’t get her off my mind 2X
She passed me up, 
said she didn’t like my kind

I'm scared to bother around
Her house at night 2X
She got a police dog, cravin for a fight

His name is Rambler
When he gets a chance 2X
He leaves his mark on everybody’s pants

Guess I’ll travel,
I guess I’ll let her be 2X
Before she sicks her police dog on me

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
