Merle Travis

Merle Robert Travis (November 29, 1917 – October 20, 1983) was an American country and Western singer, songwriter, and musician born in Rosewood, Kentucky. His lyrics often discussed the life and exploitation of coal miners. Among his many well-known songs are "Sixteen Tons", "Re-Enlistment Blues" and "Dark as a Dungeon". However, it is his masterful guitar playing and his interpretations of the rich musical traditions of his native Muhlenberg County, Kentucky for which he is best known today. "Travis picking", a syncopated style of finger picking, is named after him. He was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970 and elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1977. more »

I just bought me a great long ticket
I'm gonna use it at 4 P.M.
So you can call your secret love
And break the news to him

You thought your little romance
Was on the strict Q.T.
So if you want your freedom P.D.Q.
Divorce me C.O.D.

I won't be around
To hear you cry
I'm Texas bound
And by and by

You can reach me down in Dallas
A general delivery
So if you want your freedom P.D.Q.
Divorce me C.O.D.

There's gonna come a day, girl
When you'll be feelin' blue
You'll can't pay your little old bill
With a big old I.O.U.

This dynamite you're playin' with
May be T.N.T.
So if you want your freedom P.D.Q.
Divorce me C.O.D.

No need to fall
Down on your knees
'Cause I all I know
Are my ABC

I ain't no college professor
I ain't got no P.H.D.
So if you want your freedom P.D.Q
Divorce me C.O.D
