| Lord, I went to the doctor, he took one look
|
| He said, the trouble with you ain’t in my book
|
| I’ll tell you what it is but it ain’t good news
|
| You’ve got an awful bad case of them low down blues
|
| I’ve got the mean old miseries in my soul
|
| I went to the river but the water’s too cold
|
| I’ve walked the floor till I’ve wore out my shoes
|
| Lord, they’re killin' me, I mean them low down blues
|
| Lord, I never knew a man could feel so bad
|
| I never knew livin' could be so sad
|
| All I do is sit and cry
|
| Lord, I’d have to get better, before I could die
|
| I’ve got the mean old miseries in my soul
|
| I went to the river but the water’s too cold
|
| I’ve walked the floor till I’ve wore out my shoes
|
| Lord, they’re killin' me, I mean them low down blues |
