Blues in the Bottle Lyrics by Chris Smither

Leave the Light On

0

[Verse 1]
Blues in the bottle, blues in the bottle
Stopper in my hand, doggone my bad luck so
Stopper in my hand
I pour the blues out the bottle, I pour them into the man
I pour the blues out the bottle, I pour them into the man
[Verse 2]
Blues come to Texas, blues come to Texas
Fell in here by land, doggone my bad luck so
Fell in here by land
Man, they ain't killed me yet, but they're doin' the best thеy can
They ain't killed me yеt, but they're doin' the best they can
[Verse 3]
Picked all my cotton, picked all my cotton
I pulled all my corn, doggone my bad luck so
Pulled all my corn
I got the blues in the bottle, blues since I was born
I got the blues in the bottle, blues since I was born
[Verse 4]
Blues in the bottle, blues in the bottle
Blues I can be, doggone my bad luck so
Blues I can be
If you can't keep up with the blues, keep away from me
If you can't keep up with the blues, keep away from me
