Jack's Dreary Blue Blues                                                                

When he was 'round

Thangs weren't so blue

Thangs weren't as low

Thangs still felt new

But he ain't 'round

I've got them dreary blue blues

We was good friends

If that's what you'd say

We'd hang late

We'd play straight

Yes, we was good friends

As they would say

But he ain't 'round

I've got the dreary blue blues

We'd smoke 'n drank

We'd laugh us some

We'd feel angry

And then some

Thangs are so dreary

Now he ain't 'round

I wish he'd come 'round

Cause I've got them dreary blue blues

Friends we is

And friends we were

Thangs so dreary

Makes me want to quit

Thangs so dreary now that

He ain't 'round

I've got them dreary blue blues

Thangs weren't as low

Thangs still felt new

But he ain't 'round

I've got them dreary blue Blues

Maybe I can start new

He killed that gal

She can't start new

White folks killed him too

He ain't round no mo'

I've got them dreary blue blues

Maybe I can start new

Do somethang

Anythang

To cure these dreary blue blues
