Low Down Blues

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 set 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
