LIVIN' THE BLUES
(Gary Nicholson)
Recorded By James Cotton

Woke up this mornin', my pillow was wet
Guess I knowed this was good as it would get
Made me some breadfast of orange juice and gin
Started to think about the shape that I was in
It was all I can do to keep from goin' down
Got me a ride to the hard part of town

Found a funkery bar on a funkery street
I never thought twice what could happen to me
Stepped in the bar and started drinkin' doubles
Pourin' down whiskey and pourin' out my troubles
Went to the jukebox and found the saddest song
Played it over and over till my money was gone

I'm livin' the blues, livin' the blues tonight
I'm livin' the blues, livin' the blues tonight
I'm in no mood to get myself together
Feel so bad I don't wanna feel better
I'm livin' the blues, livin' the blues tonight

Come here, baby, let me buy you a drink
But don't you even start to think
That maybe me and you maybe could have something nice
Belive me, baby, you don't wanna pay the price
You said "Let's fall in love." You must be jokin'
I've been burnt so bad my heart's still smokin'

I'm livin' the blues, livin' the blues tonight
