Low Down Blues

(album: There's A Little Bit Of Hank In Me - 1980)

Lord I went to the doctor he took one look
He said the trouble with you it ain't in my book
I'll tell you what it is but it ain't good news
You got an awful bad case of them low down blues

I got the mean ole miseries in my soul
I went to the river but the water's too cold
I walked the floor till I wore out my shoes
Lord they're killing me I mean them low down blues

Lord I never knew a man could feel so bad
I never knew living could be so sad
All I do is sit and cry
Lord I'd have to get better before I could die

I got the mean ole miseries in my soul
I went to the river but the water's too cold
I walked the floor till I wore out my shoes
Lord they're killing me I mean them low down blues
Lord they're killing me I mean them low down blues
