Dead for Damn Sure Blues Didn't wake up this mornin' ... didn't get outta bed and when I DIDN'T miss my baby then I KNEW that I was dead didn't make no coffee... didn't drink no cup didn't cry the blues, `cause I never woke up! Now, I cried when she left me, it didn't do no good. missed her till I died just like I said I would If the river was whiskey, I'd never come up Can't do no swimming when you're one dead duck. Got them never no mo' ....dead for damn sure blues I drank wine and whiskey, anything I could But that embalming fluid didn’t taste so good. My baby heard I was dying, laughed outta her head took my money with me, now she's dressed in red. Just sittin' in my kitchen, talkin' out your head So busy gabbin', didn't see I was dead Drove down the graveyard in a funeral hack left my baby the car, she drove the Cadillac no wine for breakfast, no Jack before bed, no drinkin’ today, ‘cause i started out dead Didn't bet the ponies, don't know which is worse To find your horse dead last or find out you're dead first. Didn't shoot no craps, didn't roll that Five no way to see the win with pennies on my eyes Didn't take no train to no place left to roam, I'm ridin’ in my coffin, and I’m headin home

this is my re-do of an old (PD) standard. I reworked pretty completely. Hope you enjoy it.
