Let me tell you about my blues My blues have turned black Black, black, black, black And my rotting stinking flesh Black, black, black, black I couldn't stay high I'm in some cemetery I don't know where I am It's been so many years I lost so many tears I don't know who I am It was all a moment in the ocean of time I thought I had to go And then I really was gone I was gone, gone, gone, gone I lost the way I went way on tears
It was all I could do Keep on keeping on I walked and I walked and I walked and I walked I didn't see nothing in the midnight blue My blues turned black Black, black, black, black Inside I'm a zombie Outside I'm unknown Black, black, black, black That rotten stinking flesh Maybe you can't see it But I know it's for real My blues have turned black I forgot how to feel My blues have turned black I'm gone, I can't come back
