These Blues 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?) YOu better believe in the morning my burden was light good luck finding the rest. |

19 Feb 06 - 10:57 PM (#1673468) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: These Blues (Jimmie Dale Gilmore) From: Jim Dixon I've listened to several sound samples and I can now expand our quote to two verses: 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. |

20 Feb 06 - 08:24 PM (#1674352) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: These Blues (Jimmie Dale Gilmore) From: Beer 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. |
