Billy Joe Howard - Low Down Blues

I've been down to Memphis, to see the king
Got to Mississippi, saw a lot of things
Been down to New Orleans, down on Bourbon Street
And up to Chicago, where blues is the scene
I've been a lot of places, paid a lot of dues
Man, I got a bad case, of the lowdown blues

I got a bad case, of the lowdown blues
I have to look up to see, the bottom side, of a short man's shoes, yes I do
I got a bad case, of the dirty rotten lowdown blues
If I get any lower, the devil's gonna give me a room

My luck is so bad, it made the Guiness Book
Of the worst luck that's ever been had
I can't find a note, on this old guitar
That sounds that, low and sad, y'all

I've been to California, where the stars all sleep
And New York City, that's a place you can keep
Went down to Nashvillle, back in ninety three
Where I couldn't find nobody that was, into me
I've been a lot of places, to wear out twelve pair of shoes
And man, I got a bad case, of the lowdown blues

Ooooh oooh, got a bad case, of the lowdown blues
I have to look up to see, the bottom side, of a short man's shoes, oh yeah
I got a bad case, of the dirty rotten lowdown blues, yes I do
If I get any lower, the devil's gonna give me a room
If I get any lower, the devil's gonna give me a room
First class room, first class room
