lyrics

Livin' and a-workin' in the city, I thought I was a big girl
I felt so smart and my own life I could choose
So Miss Smarty found herself a city boy who one night said he loved her
And the next night he leaves her sittin' with a bad case of the blues


Yoodle-lad-eee-heee-heee-heee-heee, uh-huh
If I really was a smart girl I could turn him loose
Yoodle-lad-eee-heee-heee-heee-heee, uh-huh
Instead of sittin' and a-cryin' with a bad case of the blues

So I took myself out to the country to see my Mother
She said, "What no-good man has got my lovin' little child's heart sore?"
I said Mama, he tells me that he loves me and then he's out with another,
And he's got me right down to the last square on the checkerboard

Yoodle-lad-eee-heee-heee-heee-heee, uh-huh
Little country girl done got hooked on a barbed wire love
Yoodle-lad-eee-heee-heee-heee-heee, uh-huh
And she can't get loose from this bad case of the blues
