Thread Name: Lyr Req: These Blues (Jimmie Dale Gilmore)
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.


I think there maybe one more verse.
