The rain fell on my window, the wind was at my door I tried to light my fire, I was feelin' mighty cold My woman gone an' left me, to look after myself I thought I'd hit the city, I don't want no one else Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh I thought I'd hit the city, don't want no one else Made a cup of coffee, smoked my last cigarette I put on my big coat, never paid no rent Trudging through the puddles, water's got my shoes In my head's a sad song, guess I've got the blues Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh In my head's a sad song, guess I've got the blues Sky was gettin' greyer, day was drawin' in Got myself a paper, light was pretty dim Stood up on the bridge, I thought I'd drown myself River look real cruel, couldn't make no sense Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh River look real cruel, couldn't make no sense
