Lord, Lord, whoa!
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
'Cause that sun is gonna shine in my back door someday
Now all you men's the same
But now I'm old enough to change my name
Lord, that sun's gonna shine in my back door someday
I'm gonna lay my head
On that lonesome railroad line
And let the 2:19 ease my troubled mind
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
Child, that wind's gonna come and blow my blues away!
What good can drinkin' do, what good can drinkin' do?
Lord, I drink all night but the next day I still feel blue
There's a glass on the table, they say it's gonna ease all my pain
And there's a glass on the table, they say it's gonna ease all my pain
But I drink it down, an' the next day I feel the same
Gimme whiskey, gimme bourbon, give me gin
Oh, gimme whiskey, give me bourbon, gimme gin
'Cause it don't matter what I'm drinkin', Lord, as long as it drowns this sorrow I'm in
I start drinking Friday, I start drinking Friday night
Lord, I start drinking Friday, start drinking Friday night
But then I wake up on Sunday, child, there ain't nothin' that's right
My man he left me, child, he left me here
Yeah, my good man left me, went away and left me here
Lord, I'm feelin' lowdown, just give me another glass of beer
What good can drinkin' do, what good can drinkin' do?
Well, I drink all night but the next day I still feel blue!
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I'll never drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money, for I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
Go ahead!
I don't want your golden mansions with a tear in every room
All I want's the love you promised, beneath the halo moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheatin' game
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I'll never drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money, for I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
Ready?
