[Verse]
Em Am
Ever since I moved down to New Orleans
Em E7
I been down and dreary, feelin unseen
Em Am
I gotta quit this drinkin, it ain’t good for me
Em E7
And I can’t stop smokin, it’s gettin hard to breathe
[Chorus]
Am Em7
These weary days in the south been weary on me
Am Em
I can’t pay my bills cause I only drink good mead
Am Em7
My soul was left in Texas, down among the trees
Am Em
It seems there is a drought every time I plant a seed
[Verse]
Em Am
I ain’t got no job cause nobody wanna hire
Em E7
These damn landlords, the rent keeps getting higher
Em Am
I don’t like my woman cause she’s a goddamn liar
Em E7
I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired
[Chorus]
Am Em7
These weary days in the south been weary on me
Am Em
I can’t pay my bills cause I only drink good mead
Am Em7
My soul was left in Texas, down among the trees
Am Em
It seems there is a drought every time I plant a seed
[Verse]
Em Am
Im banned from my favorite bar cause I can’t hold my liquor
Em E7
I keep gettin drunker, I keep gettin sicker
Em Am
I keep getting kicked around, now I’ll be the kicker
Em E7
Sheriff wants my head, but I’ll get his quicker
[Chorus]
Am Em7
These weary days in the south been weary on me
Am Em
I can’t pay my bills cause I only drink good mead
Am Em7
My soul was left in Texas, down among the trees
Am Em
It seems there is a drought every time I plant a seed
[Outro]
Am Em
Maybe some day I’ll leave this place behind
Am Em
The wind may blow me west
Am Em
Or maybe to the east
Am E7
But if I stay here my head will end up on the street
Am Em
I don’t know my right from wrong
Am Em
I guess I’ll hit another bong
Am E7
Or maybe I’ll just sing another song
