Twelve Bar Blues Lyrics

My baby, oh she gave me all those lies

I found out she's been dating other guys

She didn't say thing

While I waited for her to apologize

Mama said "forget about her, son"

Just sing the blues, it will make you feel alright"

But I got a better way to mend

I'm gonna go out drinking all night long

One bar two bars three bars four

I don't remember her name no more

Five bars, six bars, seven bars, eight

Look at me I found a brand new date

Nine, ten, eleven had too much fun

And by the twelfth bar I was crying over you

I got the twelve bar blues

I got the twelve bar blues

Good morning says the hammer to my head

It don't hurt none like the splitting in my heart

So I gotta find a new cure

Cause my wallet's a getting thin

I'm gonna get out of bed

Gonna shave my face

I'm gonna wear my new shirt

I never put on for you

And give your sister a call

And when you see us on the town

You're gonna wish that you had treated me right

One bar two bars three bars four

You won't remember my name no more

Five bars, six bars, seven bars, eight

Look at you, you found a brand new date

Nine, ten, eleven had too much fun

And by the twelfth bar you'll be crying over me

You got the twelve bar blues

You got the twelve bar blues

I'll be crying over you
