There was another thread about the Seeger/Hays song: Lyr Req: Empty Pocket Blues

The following seems to be a different song, but it may be of interest to somebody. Transcribed from a sound sample:

EMPTY POCKET BLUES
As sung by Joe Turner, a.k.a. Big Joe Turner, 1946 or '47.

...ever'thing was goin' all right.
Yes, I used to be lucky. Ever'thing was goin' all right.
But bad luck overtaken me. Jack, I really got the blues tonight.

Ever'body's cryin' "Mercy!" -- Tell me what mercy means....
