Come Get Jed
I threw a party when you left me
I’ve been real happy since you’re gone
But come get your blue tic hound boy
He cries all night when you’re not home
Don’t you blame that blue tic hound boy
He’s ain’t the cause for our big fight
He’s not the one who started trouble
But he won’t let me sleep at night
Come and get that blue tic hound boy
Come and get your good dog, Jed--------------- Chorus
He won’t stop his caterwaulin’
And I swear he’ll raise the dead
All the neighbors are complainin’
Up the road and down the hill
When he really gets to howlin’
He shatters bottles at the still
Well I didn’t mind your huntin’
Or that fishin’ is your life
But you’re lyin’ and your cheatin’
Don’t make for a happy wife
Come and get that blue tic hound boy
Come and get your good dog, Jed--------------- Chorus
He won’t stop his caterwaulin’
And I swear he’ll raise the dead
Instrumental Break
I’ve found me a brand new lover
And he wants to shoot ole Jed
He won’t let him in the trailer
Let alone into my bed
Now when you finally get to thinkin’
When you’ve finally seen the light
Wrap your arms around that blue tic
He’s who you’re sleepin’ with tonight.
Come and get that blue tic hound boy
Come and get your good dog, Jed
He won’t stop his caterwaulin’
And I swear he’ll raise the dead
He won’t stop his caterwaulin’
And I swear he’ll raise the dead
