All alone here I stand Heart in hell chin in hand Thinkin' what will I do without you Did I know did I see Did I drive her away from me Did I cause her to be so untrue C H O R U S: The way she done me it ain't fair I think I'm losin' all my hair I pay the price for the life that I choose It's a red letter day for the blues You were young you were wild You were nothin' but a child You were sweet as a honeysuckle tree Before I saw before I knowed You took a young man and turned him old Then we rode down a road of misery C H O R U S It's a red letter day, it's a red letter day It's a red letter day for the blues
