INTRO: One strum on the "B" VERSE ONE Lord I went to the doctor..he took one look He said the trouble with you ain't in my book I'll tell you what it is but it ain't good news You've got an awful bad case of them low down blues CHORUS I've got the mean old miseries in my soul I went to the river but the waters too cold I've walked the floor 'till I've worn out my shoes Lord they're killin' me ..I mean them low down blues VERSE TWO Lord I never knew a man... could feel this bad I never knew livin' could be so sad. All I do is set and cry Lord I'd have to get better be-fore I could die CHORUS I've got the mean old miseries in my soul I went to the river but the waters too cold I've walked the floor 'till I've worn out my shoes Lord they're killin' me ..I mean them low down blues
