The ToneWay® Project: helping people play music


Richmond Blues

Chorus
Honey, all night long
baby all night long
Got the Richmond blues
baby all night long

I'm going to the depot
look upon the board
If the train ain't here
it's somewhere on the road

If I'd a-minded
what mama said
I could-a been sleeping
in mama's bed

Me being young
and foolish too
I left my home
on account of you

I'd rather be dead
and in my grave
Than be in this town
treated this a-way

Ain't got no woman
ain't got no kin
Ain't got nobody
to be bothered with

So if I live
and don't get killed
Gonna make my home
in Louisville
