3. My baby's left me, she even took my shoes,
C
Enough to give a man these doggone worried

Blues,
G -D
She's gone,
G -G7 -C- G -C G -D -G
She's solid gone.

C
Track, carry me away, but it ain’t gonna carry

Me back,

My honey babe,
G -G7 -C- G -C G -D -G
My blue eyed babe.



C
5. I'm going up north, I'm going up north this
C
Fall, if luck don't change I won’t be back at

All,

My honey babe,
G -G7 -C- G -C G -D -G
I'm leaving you.
