The rain fell on my window, the wind was at my door,

I tried to light my fire, I was feelin' mighty cold,

My woman gone an' left me, to look after myself,

I thought I'd hit the city, I don't want no one else,



Chorus:

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh,

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh,

I thought I'd hit the city, don't want no one else



Made a cup of coffee, smoked my last cigarette,

I put on my big coat, never paid no rent,

Trudging through the puddles, water's got my shoes,

In my head's a sad song, guess I've got the blues,



Chorus:

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh,

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh,

In my head's a sad song, guess I've got the blues



Sky was gettin' greyer, day was drawin' in,

Got myself a paper, light was pretty dim,

Stood up on the bridge, I thought I'd drown myself,

River look real cruel, couldn't make no sense,



Chorus:

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh,

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh,

River look real cruel, couldn't make no sense
