Pickin em upF
and layin em downG
Pickin em upF
and layin em downG
gettin to the next townG

in BirminghamI
Boys she little and cuteJ
but when she like to tied me downG
I had to grab my suit and started toE
Pickin em upF
and layin em downG
Pickin em upF
and layin em downG
Pickin em upF
and layin em downG
getting to the next townG

I met that lovely Detroit ladyH
and thought my time had comeK
But just before I said I doE
I said I got to run and started toE
Pickin em upF
and layin em downG
Pickin em upF
and layin em downG
Pickin em upF
and layin em downG
getting to the next townG

There ain't no words for what I feelL
about a pretty faceM
But if I stay I just might missN
a prettier one some placeM
I started toE
Pickin em upF
and layin em downG
Pickin em upF
and layin em downG
Pickin em upF
and layin em downG
getting to the next townG
