Georgia Hound Blues-Tampa Red
Tampa Red, vocal and slice guitar in Vestapol tuning, Georgia Tom, piano

I got my trunk all packed, old Tampa's going to leave this town
Got my trunk all packed, old Tampa's going to leave this town
Because the gal that I was loving, she’s gone and throwed me down

Now, folks, she went and left me, she never even said a word
Now, folks, she went and left me, she never even said a word
It wasn't nothing I done, it was something that the poor girl heard

Now I’m a good fellow, but my ways are underground
Now I’m a good fellow, but my ways are underground
And if you mistreat me, mama, I’ll hunt you like a Georgia hound

So if I find her I’m gon’ kill her, and then I’m going to hang myself
If I find her I’m gon’ kill her, and then I’m going to hang myself
And if she don’t have me, she sure won’t have nobody else (Spoken: Ah, boot it, then)

SOLO

I done bought myself a razor, a rifle and a Gatling gun
I done bought myself a razor, a rifle and a Gatling gun
Gonna cut her if she stands, and I'm gon’ shoot her if she runs
