I used to sing
Low down, hard luck and trouble
The crosstown southern blues
But I ain't sang quite like I used to
I used to sing
Low down, hard luck and trouble
The crosstown southern blues
But I ain't sang 'em once since I met you
Baby you got this all wrong
Ain't it supposed to be another mule
Kickin' in your stars
Supposed to turn your red light on
So I can sing
Low down, hard luck and trouble
The crosstown southern blues
But I ain't sang 'em once since I met you
...
Girl, what you tryin' to do me, Good Lord
Ain't you supposed to be out there spending all my money
Or laying on a coolin' board
So I can sing
Low down, hard luck and trouble
The crosstown southern blues
Cuz I ain't sang 'em quite like I used to
I used to sing
Low down, hard luck and trouble
The crosstown southern blues
But I ain't sang 'em once since I met you
Now she's my love and she's my friend
Hope it don't take long till she does me wrong
So I can sing them blues again
So I can sing
Low down, hard luck and trouble
The crosstown southern blues
Cuz I ain't sang 'em quite like I used to
I used to sing
Low down, oh the hard luck and trouble
The crosstown southern blues
But I ain't sang 'em once since I met you
