Suicide Blues

Lyrics

I go downtown Down by the railroad tracks I'm gonna go downtown Lay down on the railroad tracks You see, I don't want nothin' Since my baby, she ain't comin' back My lady she's gone Took all my reason to live Yeah, my baby she gone Took all my reason to live Since she don't want me I got nothin' left to give Yeah, she won't see me Won't pick up the telephone Well, I wonder if she knows She's the reason that I'll be gone Lay in my bed Stare at the ceiling for a while I'm gonna lay in my bed Stare at the ceiling for a while Yeah, my baby gonna miss me My lady gonna miss me when I die Yeah, she won't see me Won't pick up the telephone Yeah, I wonder if she knows She's the reason that I'll be gone Got my pills Got my bottle of gin I'm gonna swallow my pills Swallow my bottle of gin When I close my eyes I won't see the sun again Yeah, she won't see me Won't pick up the telephone I wonder if she knows She's the reason that I'll be gone I get me a gun Go back into my room I'm gonna get me a gun One with a barrel or two You know I'm better off dead than Singing these suicide blues
