Shotgun Blues
Author unknown, this version from "Briefcase Full of Blues"
by the Blues Brothers

Ev'ry night I go to sleep,
The blues fall down like rain
Ev'ry night I go to sleep,
The blues fall down like rain
Takin' pills and cheap whiskey,
Just to try to ease the pain
It's hard to gamble,
When you lose every bet
Hard to save money,
When you're twenty years in debt
The blues is fallin'
Fallin down on me like rain
I'm gonna good shotgun, now, good people,
And disconnect my brain
I made some mistakes,
Had some bad breaks,
Now my mind don't work,
And my whole body aches
The blues is fallin'
Fallin down on me like rain
My life is like water,
Just swirlin' down the drain
Well, I tried standin' up,
Keep on fallin' down
Tried standin' up,
Keep on fallin' down
Everywhere I go--
The blues is all around
