Helena

I’m goin’ down to Helena. Play the blues until daylight.

I’m goin’ down to Helena. Play the blues until daylight.

Because when I’m home I have to be too quite.

I’m goin’ down to Helena. Goin’ down to Helena.

I’m goin’ down to Helena. Goin’ down to Helena.

Goin’ down to Helena no matter who I have to fight.

Gonna’ sing about my woman.  Sing about her just for spite.

Gonna’ sing about my woman.  Sing about her just for spite.

Gonna sing about how she quit treatn' me right.

I’m goin’ down to Helena. Goin’ down to Helena.

I’m goin’ down to Helena. Goin’ down to Helena.

Goin’ down to Helena no matter who I have to fight.

I once met a man. He was a terrible sight.

I once met a man. He was a terrible sight.

But he could play the blues. All the girls treat him right.

So we’re goin’ down to Helena. Goin’ down to Helena.

We’re  goin’ down to Helena. Goin’ down to Helena.

Goin’ down to Helena no matter who we have to fight.

When I head home, I’m gonna’ take some barbecue.

When I head home, I’m gonna’ take some barbecue.

Gonna’ eat and sing the blues, dream of Helena and you.

Because you are the people I love to sing to.

Oh yes!

I’m goin’ down to Helena. Goin’ down to Helena.

I’m goin’ down to Helena. Goin’ down to Helena.

Goin’ down to Helena no matter who I have to fight.
