Marshall Tucker Band, The - Bob Away My Blues Lyrics

What a voice......Doug Gray.

Hellyeah!!!

Best cowpoke song of all time in my book

you can almost her Bob Wills say Ahhha

Going close my eyes and dream

What a great tune !

27 out there need to beaten about the head and neck.

This song was way ahead of its time - kind of a microcosm for the decaying of rural America, the migration of younger people to the major metropolitan areas, and the longing for "the way things used to be"

Sax, steel and piano - who does that!?!

Such a cool tune..... I love Doug's voice.

Am I the only one that thought he said the only thing that ever whipped his pa "was a bear who crawled away"?

Doug wails on this one!!!!!!

Those sounds just blow me away, catchin bass in the evening. Love it!

Saw the in a little bar in ga. Blown away

The Marshall Tucker Band just a GREAT SOUTHERN BAND✌💙

Great bass work by Tommy.

Simply the best !!

Seen then 5 times in 70s-80s

Forty-two years ago, this was rock music. It's more country than 99 and 44/100ths percent of what's played on country radio today. Favorites are like noses and ... other body parts, because everyone's got one. MTB is mine. Best. Ever!

Well I'm goin' down to the river
I've got a canepole in my hand
I've got my redworms in a Maxwell house coffee can
I'm gonna sit under ashade tree on a riverbank where it's cool
I'm gonna close my eyes and dream and let the cork Bob away my blues

Well I wake up every mornin' I pick peaches all day
And on Saturday night we'll have a dance or two we might waller in the hay
Now the only thing that ever whipped my pa
Was this bad dude called old age
And his last years was his best years
And this is what he had to say

He said boy I've worked this dirt all my life but things ain't been good for awhile
Why don't you move to the city make a little money you might be the first one in
The family ever to die with a smile
Well I took his advice things goin' well
But my friends are far and few
But whoever said a city boy can't have the country blues
Whoever said a city boy can't have the country blues
Whoever said a city boy can't have the country blues
Well honey they ain't talked to me and you

in a Maxwell House coffee can-

Ed White gig pole in my hand got my red worms in a ...... great lyrics.

Wow, I haven't listen to this in years. Just amazing. Tommy real drove the band.

doug gray awesome vocals

james Toy Caldwell was truly an artist!!

Take me on back to the country boys when you guys along with CDB and Skynyrd ruled.. Got my redworms ready and headed for that shade tree!! Peace, Love, and Forever Dixie!! Rebel Skynyrd 2016

One of the all time best.

Damm good song....Mike Pace.

Awe! Now that's Western Cowboy Music! Noth'in like the Marshall!

Awe and awww ...... not the same item.

The best kind.

1st time I ever got Tuckerized!!!  Outstanding memory!!

I miss those days.............

The best song, by the best band, ever.

love love love !

mine as well, MTB is just the BEST!!

My very favorite MTB song....

da-am !!!! this is hotttttttt !!!!!! thanx for sharing it !

Sing it Mr. Gray! This is the best song they ever did! Among so many great songs it is hard to pick just one. This is it!

I was paid 50 bucks to embroider the horse and rider on a friends jeans and his girlfriend cut them up and called my husband telling him I had paid 50 to have sex with her boyfriend- fat chance. I was kinda upset about the work I did wasted, but more upset about upsetting my folks Thanksgiving visit. boy that was a long time ago 1976.

my Song...! für das was ich lebe und liebe

"Like" just doesn't cut it !! This is my favorite song ever!!

This and curtis lowe

Some things in life, there are no words to accurately describe. It's only what you feel when it's over. This obscenely obscure little "gem" of a tune from the great MTB is one of those things........Dim the lights, turn it up, close your eyes, lean back and listen............how do feel?

I've been listening to the Marshall tucker band my whole life, and they are by far the best, as Oildalecat said. This is a very mellow blues number, and is one of my favorites to this day.

I played the grooves out of the album on this cut.

Maxwell House coffee can,how great is that.

Classic and such a true life experiences. Many times hunting night crawlers and stored in,,,,,

the best ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!
