lyrics

The Cold Blues

I light a burner on the stove
and put the water on low
I can wait a long time for it to boil.
I push a seed into the earth
and I cover it with dirt
and I let it lay there—I trust the soil.
Put on your hat my darling
put on your shoes
we’re going somewhere but I’ve got the cold blues.

I’ve got a knife of hardened steel
sharpened on a grinding wheel
and in my hand it cuts a straight line.
I step outside to breathe the air
and in the lonesome night I stand and stare
through all the wind up at the moonshine.
Put on your hat my darling
put on your shoes
we’re going somewhere but I’ve got the cold blues.

Could be a little while
before it snows
could be a long time, I just don’t know.
I sing a little song
of days gone by
and I hold the notes out to make you cry.
Put on your hat my darling
put on your shoes
we’re going somewhere but I’ve got the cold blues.
