Blues in the bottle, blues in the bottle
Where do you think you're at, pretty mama
Blues in the bottle, where do you think you're at
You went and kicked my dog
And now you've drowned my cat

Goin' to Chattanooga, goin' to Chattanooga
See my ponies run, pretty mama
Goin' to Chattanooga to see my ponies run
If I win a prize
I'll give my baby some

Rooster chews tobacco, rooster chews tobacco
Hen uses snuff, pretty mama
The rooster chews tobacco and the hen uses snuff
The baby chickens don't take nothin'
But they just strut their stuff

Goin' to Silly Putty, goin' to Silly Putty
Sorry I can't take you, pretty mama
Goin' to Silly Putty, sorry I can't take you
I can't abide no woman
Who goes round sniffin' glue
