Blue Ribbon Blues

Had them blue ribbon blues. Lord

So long, for so long

I don't even know where I'm goin'

All I know is where I've gone

I've been drunked up for three days and

I know I'll pay for my sins

But please, sweet Jesus

Let me get drunk just once again

Though I tried to love ya

You know I'll try again, yea-ah, la la

All I need is a sweet melody

And a half a pint of bourbon or gin, bourbon or gin

And a half a pint of bourbon or gin

I've been down on my luck Lord

So long, baby for so long

Now I can't even wake up in the mornin'

I guess I'm just too far gone

I feel like I'm just wastin' space Lord

Like I'm just wastin' air

Oh I can't seem to find the darkness

Dream till you're there

Though I tried to love ya

You know I'll try again, yea-ah la la

All I need is a sweet melody

And a half a pint of bourbon or gin, bourbon or gin

And a half a pint of bourbon or gin, Bus Shelton here

Ridin' rails, ramblin' round

You know how I ain't got me no home

But I left my poor family

When I was only 15 years old

But oh California call my name

Lord you know that I'll find you if I can

But I gotta stay on the road mama

I'm a hard drivin' man, oh

Though I tried to love ya

You know I'll try again, yea-ah, la la

All I need is a sweet melody

And a half a pint of bourbon or gin, bourbon or gin

And a half a pint of bourbon or gin
