Well the blues come down on me this mornin'
Like a shower o'rain
Makes me think of my sweet woman
Can't recall her name
Can't recall her name my lord, can't recall her name
Makes me think of my sweet woman, can't recall her name
Tell me 'bout your troubles man and I'll tell you 'bout mine
Got so many troubles now, have you still got the time
Well if you still got the time my lord, if you still got the time
Open up the ocean let you walk into my mind
If that river it was whiskey, and I was a clown
I'd jump into that river just to wet my worries down
Wet my worries down my lord, it wet my worries down
That river it was whiskey, well you know I'd rather drown
'Cause every time I speak you know I just betray my mind
I could sing the blues until the sun refused to shine
If I could get ahead my friend, well you know that I'd be gone
But a kid can't get ahead when everything he does is wrong
Everything I do goes wrong my lord, everything I do goes wrong
All I can do right is just to keep on keepin' on
Well the blues come down on me this mornin'
Like a shower o'rain
Makes me think of my sweet woman
Can't recall her name
Can't recall her name my lord, can't recall her name
Makes me think of my sweet woman, that killed me all the same.
