Written and sung by, Hank Williams
(D) LORD I WENT TO THE DOCTOR, HE TOOK ONE LOOK,
HE SAID THE (G) TROUBLE WITH YOU AIN'T (D) IN MY BOOK,
I'LL (G) TELL YOU WHAT IT IS BUT IT (D) AIN'T GOOD NEWS,
YOU'VE GOT AN AWFUL BAD CASE OF THEM (A7) LOW DOWN (D) BLUES.
CHORUS
(D) I'VE GOT THE (G) MEAN OLD MISERIES (D) IN MY SOUL,
I (G) WENT TO THE RIVER, BUT THE (D) WATER'S TOO COLD,
I'VE (G) WALKED THE FLOOR 'TILL I'VE (D) WORE OUT MY SHOES,
LORD THEY'RE KILLIN' ME, I MEAN THEM (A7) LOW DOWN (D) BLUES.
(D) LORD I NEVER KNEW A MAN COULD FEEL SO BAD,
I (G) NEVER KNEW LIVIN' COULD (G) BE SO SAD,
(G) ALL I DO IS (D) SET AND CRY,
LORD I'D HAVE TO GET BETTER, BE- (A7) FORE I COULD (D) DIE.
