Nobody Blues

I was walking down a railroad track Found a foot that the train had hacked Picked it up and I started to yack But something wouldn't let me put it back Somehow he told me that his name was Ped He had no tongue to speak but that's what he said He wondered what was going on in his head And if the rest of him was alive or dead Nobody blues Nobody blues I thought I had nobody Till I met somebody who had no body But the blues I had a case of the nobody blues I was tired of walking in my shoes A lonely one in a world of twos Till I met someone who really knew Nobody blues Nobody blues I held him close up against my chest He said that things would work out for the best That's when I knew that it was all a test And it was up to me to find the rest Nobody blues Nobody blues I thought I had nobody Till I met somebody who had no body But the blues
