Carpenter Street Blues

Carpenter Street blues

Gonna take a toll on me.

You know I gotta be leavin’

Before I learn to play the part perfectly.

I got a woman

Trying to wear my pants for me.

Naggin’ me all day and night.

Why won’t that woman treat me right?

I got the blues in the morning.

I got more blues at night

Blues at work the next day

You know things don’t look so bright.

Gonna find myself runnin’

On down the road.

I’m gonna leave you Carpenter Street

Just like I told you so.

I aint got no money.

Just a houseful of woes.

I can’t drink my troubles away.

I think I’ll just fade away.
