Belly Up Blues


He drank all my sweet love
Emptied my cup
Picked this poor heart clean
till went belly up
Talkin' 'bout 'nothin' left to lose
It's and old story, but you've heard the news?
I've gone BELLY UP BLUES

What he gave with one hand
The other took back
Rode on my freight train
Then drove it off the track
Talkin' 'bout 'nothin' he didn't use
I can't walk one more mile in these hurting shoes
Talkin' BELLY UP BLUES

I am fed up
With these low-down days
I pray to heaven
For some hell to raise

But ain't nothin' hot around
Pickins are slim
All my love went out
And none is comin' in
Talkin' 'bout 'nothin' from which to choose
No kind of offer I could even refuse
Talkin' BELLY UP BLUES
