Lyrics

[Verse 1] Stay out on the levee Watching the seagulls fly My heart was feeling heavy Did not know the reason why [Bridge] I was crying for you Wherever you may be I was crying for you Because you once were me [Verse 2] My best friend in this whole world Is a man who is dead and gone Now I'm bound to wander With nothing but his song [Pre-Chorus] And he walked out of this world As lonely as he came You can rest assured You won't see my man again [Chorus] I've got the young blood blues They just won't let me be [Verse 3] I'm going back to New York I won't be back to stay If you see my old friends Won't you tell them I'm still away? [Pre-Chorus] Got heartache like a river And it runs a muddy mile You could rest assured You won't see me for a long, long while [Chorus] I've got the young blood blues They're following me I've got the young blood blues They just won't let me be I've got the young blood blues They're following me I've got the young blood blues They just won't let me be
