Melancholy Blue

Ever since I lost you, baby

I've been here and there

Lookin' for some peace 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 liked my style

But there's somethin' 'bout 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 know what to do

I ain't got no future

I can't see my future

Without you
