Low Down Blues Songtext
von Hank Williams, Jr.

Well, I went to the doctor, he took one look
He said, "The trouble, Bocephus, now this ain′t in my book
I have to tell you straight, it ain't good news
You got a mighty bad case of the lowdown blues"

Oh, I never knew a man could feel so bad
I never knew livin′ could be so sad
Doctor, all I'm doin' is sittin′ around and cryin′
Well, I'll have to get better before I can even think of dyin′


I got mean old miseries in my soul
I went to the river, but that water's way too cold
I walked through the floor ′til I wore out my shoes
This thing is killin' me, I mean the lowdown blues

I need a prescription to get rid of
These miseries that′s down in my soul
I went to the river, but that water's too cold
I went to a dance, man, I couldn't even move
Lord, they′re killin′ me, I mean the lowdown blues

Well, I went to the doctor, he takes one look
He said, "Bocephus, now your trouble ain't in my book
I′m gon' tell you straight, son, and this is not good news
You got a mighty classic case of the lowdown blues"
