Got The Blues, I Can’t Be Satisfied
Tags: MIssissippi John Hurt
I got the blues, I can’t be satisfied (2x)
You can keep those blues, gonna catch that train and ride.
Well, whisky straight can drive the blues away,
That being the case, I’ll take a quart today.
I bought my gal a great big diamond ring,
Come right back home and caught her shakin’ that thing.
I said, “Baby, what make you treat me this-a-way?”
“Tell me honey, what make you treat me this-a-way?”
She says, “you wouldn’t miss the things I give away.
I got my gun and I broke the barrel down,
I shot my baby, put her six feet under the ground.
I cut that joker so long deep and wide,
I got the blues, I’m still not satisfied.
I got the blues I can’t be satisfied.
You can keep those blues, gonna catch the train and ride.
I couldn’t pass up a verse like, “Whiskey straight can drive the blues away. That being the case, I’ll take a quart today.”
