"Bad Reputation Blues" lyrics

I been down to Mississippi, up through Tennessee
Been all around, land of the free
Everywhere I go, my baby done slandered me
Every time I go to sit down, someone telling me to leave

I been dragged through the mud
I been left in the rain
I walk for miles for miles for miles
With her ball and chain
Everywhere I go, I got no friends that I can call
Every time I pick up the phone, they won't answer me at all

She lied about my drinking
She lied about the rent
She lied about the money that I had spent
Everywhere I go, someone's got the story wrong
Every time I rest my head, someone's says just move along

I can't go to the church
I can't go to the store
I can't go to my favorite bar, not anymore
Every time I do, I hear nothing but more bad news
Everywhere I go, I got the bad reputation blues, because of you
All because of you
