Fairfax Blues
Words and Music by: Thomas A. Buechi

I get up early every mornin’
And I stay out late at night
I’m wanderin’ ‘round town
Just tryin’ to get it right
But not matter what I try
It all comes right down to you
It’s so hard to get by
When you’ve got those Fairfax Blues

The folks down south,
You know they’ve been so good to me
All I need’s a sweet young lady
I’ll be happy as can be
But ‘til that day
Don’t know what I’m gonna do
I just stay up all night
Singin’ these Fairfax Blues

Ooh, Lovely lady, what you gonna do?
I’ve been wonderin’ all night how I’m gonna do by you
You gonna take me home darlin’?
Or am I gonna lose?
I get so damn tired
Of singin’ these Fairfax Blues (I sing ‘em like this)

I’ve got snow outside my windows
And rain up on my roof
I’d walk home with you darlin’
But I’ve got holes in my shoes
I’ve been tryin’ all evenin’
What else can I do?
Looks like your interest is fadin’
Gonna have to play those Fairfax Blues (They play ‘em like this down south)
