Ida Cox — Chattanooga Blues

[Verse 1] Goin' up on Lookout Mountain, look as far as I can see Tryna find the man that made a monkey out of me Reached the depot in time to catch the Cannonball Got the blues for Chattanooga, won't be back 'til late next fall [Verse 2] Down in Chickamaugie, Fort Oglethorpe Grandest bunch of soldiers that you ever saw On the Tennessee River, down to the lock and dam Searching every mudhole, trying to find my good man Sam [Verse 3] Out Market to McCallie, East 9th Street Watching everybody that I chanced to meet At last, I saw my daddy livin' in Tannery Flats Dressed in a tailor-made suit and a brand new Stetson hat [Verse 4] Daddy, sweet daddy, I know you'll quit me now 'Cause I don't need no daddy no how Trouble, trouble is all I ever find I'm going away, try to wear you off my mind [Verse 5] Down in Chattanooga, there's hospitality The finest bunch of people in the state of Tennessee Tired, tired of roaming this way Got the blues for Chattanooga, I'm going back to stay someday
