Subject: RE: Lyr Req: These Blues (Jimmie Dale Gilmore)
Got the first verse.
When I get these blues, I just look back down that road. It's been awhile since I laid down that load. These blues ain't nothing Like these blues I had, Like before I paid a little debt I owed. When I get these blues, I just look back down that road.
Ever'thing I ever needed was on the shelf. Spent all o' my time feelin' sorry for myself. I was driftin' an' dreamin' an' waitin' an' watchin' for a ship with a silver sail, But I got lucky and I woke up in jail.
There is none so blind as he who will not see, And it's easy to see I could not see that was me. When he washed ashore, the drunken sailor was adrift in the city night An' you'd better believe in the mornin' my burden was light.
