All alone here I stand Heart in hell chin in hand Thinking what will I do without you Did I know did I see Did I drive her away from me Did I cause her to be so untrue Chorus: The way she done me it ain't fair Think I'm losing all my hair Paid the price for the life that I choose It's a red letter day for the blues Steel Solo You were young you were wild You were nothing but a child You were sweet as a honeysuckle tree Before I saw, before I know You took a young man and turned him old And you drove on down the road of misery Chorus Solo Chorus It's a red letter day It's a red letter day It's a red letter day for the blues
