lyrics

My clothes is raggedy, I got holes in my shoes/My wallet’s empty, I got nothin’ to lose/God and the devil are wrestling and I don’t know which to choose/I guess that’s why they call it the low down godforsaken blues, the blues
My baby left me, she dropped me like a deuce/She broke my heart, now I’m hitting the booze/She sent me an email, that’s how she broke the news/I guess that’s why they call it the low down brokenhearted blues, the low down godforsaken blues
Someone’s gonna die tonight, that’s my prophecy/I can kill you or myself with this gun, it don’t make that much difference to me/And I’m at the end of my rope, the one I’m fixin’ to use/I guess that’s why they call it the low down suicidal blues/The low down homicidal blues, the low down godforsaken blues
I guess that’s why they call it the low down godforsaken blues
