Helpless Blues

Lyrics:

• You know she took the Chevrolet with her this morning, people
• She didn’t leave me nothing but a mule to ride
• She took the car this morning
• Left me an old mule to ride
• You know, when the car backed out the driveway
• That old mule laid down and died
• She didn’t leave me nothing, people
• Nothing but this old helpless blues
• She didn’t leave me nothing, people
• Nothing but this old helpless blues
• I turned it into my apartment
• Yes, and a cardboard suitcase full of "I owe you"


• I said, what did you do to me, baby
• Oh, how can you just stand right there in my face and watch me cry?
• Oh, tell me, baby, how can you stand in my face, watch me cry?
• Oh, she said: I got news for you
• Oh, darling, I can stand in your face and watch you die!
• She took my ring right off the night stand, people
• You know, she went and put my grandpa's watch in the pawn
• She took my gold diamond ring off the night stand, people
• She put my grandpa's watch in pawn
• She said: if you don’t believe I’m leaving, baby
• If you don’t believe I’m leaving, baby
• If you don’t believe I’m going, sweet thing
• If you don’t think I’m quitting Denver
• Why just you count those days are gone?
