Oh, those blues sure have got me,

They've got me down,

Trouble and worry just follows me around,

Horseshoes and wishbones,

Oh, why they don't mean a darn,

Hard luck's my partner,

We travel arm in arm.



Gonna leave this town, though;

Try to get another start,

Tryin' to find a girl who loves me,

And won't break my heart,

But where will I find her?

Just can't be found.

Oh, the blues sure got me,

And I'm cemetary bound.
