Nine Below Zero

(album: The Blues Is Alive and Well - 2018)

Ain't this a pity
People ain't this a damn crying shame
Oh yes, ain't this a pity
People you know this a damn crying shame

Wait those nine below zero
And this woman then put me down for another man
I give her all my money
All of my loving and everything
Yes, I give her all my money
People, I give her all of my loving and everything
When it goes nine below zero
And she done put me down for another man

She lied to me
She did not tell me everything
Oh yeah, oh yeah, she lied to me
The little girl didn't tell me everything
Well you know it's nine below zero
And she put me down for another man

Ain't this a pity
People this a damn crying shame
Oh yes, ain't this a pity
People you know this a damn crying shame
She waits til it got nine below zero, Tom
And this little girl then put me down for another man

I'm gonna retire down to Louisiana
Laying out there in the falling rain (in the swamps too)
Yes, I'm gonna retire down to Louisiana
Oh yes, I'm laying out there in the falling rain
You know it's nine below zero here in Chicago
And my love don't mean a thing
