I've got the blues
for that home town of mine
some how or other
I can't change my mind
Scenes from my home town
is all I need
to succeeed
yes indeed
Can't help but worry
since I went away
I bought a ticket
for Jimtown today
Look for my picture
in the village news
'cause I've got some worries to lose.

I've got those mean Jimtown blues
I've saved up my ones and twos
No more singing this weary song
when I go back where I belong
I've got those mean Jimtown blues.

I've got those mean Jimtown blues
I've saved up my ones and twos
No more singing this weary song
when I go back where I belong
I've got those mean Jimtown blues.

I've got the blues
for that home town of mine
some how or other
I can't change my mind
Scenes from my home town
is all I need
to succeeed
yes indeed
Can't help but worry
since I went away
I bought a ticket
for Jimtown today
Look for my picture
in the village news
'cause I've got some worries to lose.

I've got those mean Jimtown blues
I've saved up my ones and twos
No more singing this weary song
when I go back where I belong
I've got those mean Jimtown blues.

I've got those mean Jimtown blues
I've saved up my ones and twos
No more singing this weary song
when I go back where I belong
I've got those mean Jimtown blues.
