Subject: Lyr Add: EMPTY POCKET BLUES (Incredible String Ban
The Incredible String Band on their first album in 1966 had another song with the same title:


EMPTY POCKET BLUES

My pocket's empty, baby
Singin' the blues for you
My pocket's empty, baby
You know I loved you true
Even my old kettle
Is whistlin' the blues for you

Back again
I'm still waitin'
Back again
With you

The nights are lonely, baby
I need you all the time
I'm lonely, baby
Need your lips on mine
Even my old kettle
Is whistlin' the blues for you

Back again
I'm still waitin'
Back again
With you

My pocket's empty, baby
Just singin' them blues for you
My pocket's empty, baby
You know I loved you true
Even my old kettle
Is whistlin' the blues for you

Back again
I'm still waitin'
To go back again
With you
