Down in spirit I've got those broken hearted blues Mmmmm down in spirit I've got those broken hearted blues I can't stand and talk about the weather I haven't got that kind of time to lose I called up my baby Tried to make a date She said "I'm sold out, daddy" "You always a little late" Down in spirit I've got those broken hearted blues I can't stand and talk about the weather I don't have no time to lose Well when a rich man get the blues He's trying to plan it right Poor man get the blues He just cry 'til he gets another satisfied Down in spirit I've got those broken hearted blues I can't stand and talk about the weather I don't have no time to lose Well I never have been married But I thought I'd give it a try When I got around to poppin' the question My baby waving me bye bye Down in spirit I've got those broken hearted blues I can't stand and talk about the weather I don't have that kind of time to lose
