I'll never get out of these blues alive
I'll never get out of these blues alive
No, I'll never, I'll never get out of these blues alive
Well he gone and left me
I don't know what I'll do the rest of my life
Drinking black coffee and smoking cigarettes
Drinking black coffee, yeah, and smoking cigarettes
I can't see no use to try
I'll never get out of these blues alive
No, I'll never, I'll never get out of these blues alive
He gone and left me
Says he'll never come back home
I'll never come out of these blues alive
No, I'll never, I'll never come out of these blues alive
He gone and left me
I don't know what I'll do the rest of my life
Working up a sweat all night long and jumping over my bed
...sweat all night long and jumping over my bed
I can't see no use to try
Well, I'll never, never come out of these blues alive
I'll never, never come out of these, out of these blues alive
You know I miss him
...to the day I die
