Lyrics
LISTEN HERE BUDDY GOT A BONE IN MY CRAW.
RUIN MY DAY SENDING TROUBLE MY WAY
DARKEN MY NIGHT THAT AIN'T RIGHT
LISTEN, I GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
CHORUS:
SAILORS, WAILERS, COWBOYS, COLD TRAILERS,
GUITAR PICKERS AND THE LIKE
ALL LEAVE THEIR GIRLS GET HALF CROSS THE WORLD
THEN SING THE LONESOME BLUES ALL NIGHT
YOU KNOW OLD BOBBY GETS ROUGH AS A COB
TWO WEEKS ON THE ROAD HE'LL BLOW A GOOD JOB
HE DON'T CARE ABOUT MONEY GOING BACK TO HIS HONEY
HE'LL GAMBLE HE'LL STEAL AND ROB
AND THEN THERE'S TOURNAMENT JIM YOU HEARD OF HIM
HE'S TRAVELIN' ALL THE TIME FISHING FOR BASS
WHEN EVINRUDE BACKED HIM HIS OLD GIRL SACKED HIM
LORDY HOW HE GOES THROUGN HIS CASH
CHORUS:
SAILORS, WAILERS, COWBOYS, ETC................
WISH I COULD BE A MORE MODERATE LEE
A STEADY EDDIE DOING WHAT'S RIGHT
CAUSE YOUR AVERAGE JOE GETS ALONG MORE
BETTER STAYIN' SAME PLACE EACH NIGHT
CHORUS:
SAILORS, WAILERS, COWBOYS, ETC........................
