(intro) And the Blues fall down on the street where I live Like the soot and the sleet and the snow And it gathers in shadows And the dips and dark narrows And out in the rag-tattered road
(verse 1) Brother can you spot me a dollar, Hey friend can you lend me a five? My cheque’s not due For another week or two, I’ll pay you back for sure this time
Well, you sure can’t get drunk on a dollar, And you sure can’t get tight on a five, But you can ride a rocket And take it down town, and watch all those pretty lights shine
Neck Deep in the Blues Neck Deep in the Blues
(verse 2) Man, can you show me to the station Sir, can you point out the train? I’ve been walking in circles For hours and hours And I seem to have lost my way.
Well, nobody’s waitin’ at the Station There’s no one to meet on the train But if I find the right track, I just might get myself back To the place from which I came.
