Barefoot Blues

Any body's better than nobody

'Cause one's never better than two

Any body's better than nobody

For me and my barefoot bluesI'm spending money like water

And drinking life like wine

But it's a big old bed in a lonesome house

Unhappiness all I findOnce I danced in sunshine

I used to laugh at the rain

Did the belly-rub with all kinds of men

Lord, I'd love to do it againBut in this sea of scorn and laughter

I look for the silvery moon

But there's no one but me and my lonely key

A bare bulb rented roomI'm going down to the river

Gonna have me a little swim

An autumn flower in the frozen rain

Can't believe the state I'm in'Cause a body was better than nobody

And one seemed worse than two

When that anybody turned to nobody

And left me to my barefoot blues
