I waked up this morning, got on my walking shoes.
I’m a-going back to Nashville; I got them Nashville blues.
Lordy, oh, Lord, I got them Nashville blues.

Got a girl in Mississippi I’ve got to lose.
I’ve got a girl down in Nashville; she gives me the blues.
Lordy, oh, Lord, I've got them Nashville blues.

I’ve got a girl in Mississippi; she’s as sweet as she can be.
But I'm heading back this morning for old Nashville, Tennessee.
Lordy, oh, Lord, I’ve got the Nashville blues.

I got up this morning, put on my walking shoes.
I headed back to Nashville; I got them Nashville blues.

When I get to Nashville, put on my blue suede shoes.
I forget old Mississippi and them Nashville blues.
Lordy, oh, Lord, I’ve got them Nashville blues.
