Suicide Blues

I go downtown

Down by the railroad tracks

I'm gonna go downtown

Lay down on the railroad tracks

You see, I don't want nothin'

Since my baby, she ain't comin' back

My lady she's gone

Took all my reason to live

Yeah, my baby she gone

Took all my reason to live

Since she don't want me

I got nothin' left to give

Yeah, she won't see me

Won't pick up the telephone

Well, I wonder if she knows

She's the reason that I'll be gone

Lay in my bed

Stare at the ceiling for a while

I'm gonna lay in my bed

Stare at the ceiling for a while

Yeah, my baby gonna miss me

My lady gonna miss me when I die

Yeah, she won't see me

Won't pick up the telephone

Yeah, I wonder if she knows

She's the reason that I'll be gone

Got my pills

Got my bottle of gin

I'm gonna swallow my pills

Swallow my bottle of gin

When I close my eyes

I won't see the sun again

Yeah, she won't see me

Won't pick up the telephone

I wonder if she knows

She's the reason that I'll be gone

I get me a gun

Go back into my room

I'm gonna get me a gun

One with a barrel or two

You know I'm better off dead than

Singing these suicide blues
