I went down to the river
sat there all night long
wondering about my life
wondering what went wrong
blues in my bottle
sorrow in my cup
Well i've been down for so long
its getting hard to get better
Its hard to find a woman
even harder to find a friend
When I think loves beginning
it turns out to be the end
blues in my bottle
sorrow in my cup
Well i've been down for so long
its getting hard to get better
Well i've been drinking and drinking
to drive my blues away
It leaves me for the nighttime
but it is right back next day
I'm happy on the outside
folks think im ok
but i'm crying in the inside
see my tears fall like rain
