| I came here from Dixie, right from the solid south
|
| I was happy down here, now I’m down in the mouth!
|
| I was walkin' on air way down in Tennessee
|
| I say I was walkin' on air way down in Tennessee
|
| Now I’m floatin' on air through the courtesy of NBC
|
| Life was easy, life was fine
|
| Until I lost that man of mine
|
| I can’t forgive him for leaving me behind
|
| Got an ache in my heart and the blues on my weary mind
|
| Now there’s just one blues to cure my misery
|
| Yes, yes there’s just one blues to cure my misery
|
| The Lower Basin Street Blues is the only blues for me! |
