Lyric Melancholy Blue

(Tom Douglas/Harlan Howard)

Ever since I lost you babe
I ve been here and there
Looking for some piece of mind,can t find it anywhere
I went down to Tunica,played me a little blackjack
Saw a wino on the corner gave my winnings back

If it was just money
Baby,I could make it
But living without you
Can I take it
All I see ahead of me
Is just melancholy blue
Cause I ain t got no future without you

I went down to Austin,lots of beautiful people there
Could have had a better adventure,I just didn t care
Got a job in California,they sure like my style
But there s something about that California sun
Reminds me of your smile

If it was just money
Baby,I could make it
But living without you
Can I take it
All I see ahead of me
Is just melancholy blue
Cause I ain t got no future without you

Now and then I go back to Biloxi
Whenever I feel brave
Visit that little country church down there
Lay some flowers on your grave
You sure got a hold on me,I don t want to do
I ain t got no future
I can t see no future without you
