SHE DIDN'T DO RIGHT BY ME KINDA BLUES

I guess this barroom's good as any other
I'm gonna drink till every man in here's my brother
Bartender, I'm suffering from woman trouble
so you can make that first one a double
then keep 'em coming, slow and steady
I think I feel better already
Now pour me out one stiff and straight
The good times are coming, but I can't wait
Her lovelight's out, and darkness blinds me
Wish I could be where I can't find me
Nothing's left to do
but sit here and crying the she didn't do right by me kinda blues

I think that woman broke my heart and that's a fact
I look forward to a future of nothing but looking back
That jukebox tune just reinforces
the feeling I'm at the end of my resources
so keep that big, brown bottle handy
I'm gonna sit here 'till everything's dandy.
Now pour me out one stiff and straight
The good times are coming, but I can't wait
Her love light's out, and darkness blinds me
Wish I could be where I can't find me
Nothing's left to do
but sit here and crying the she didn't do right by me kinda blues
