Dancing To The Blues Lyrics

See the woman over there

With the dark brown beautiful hair

We were engaged to be married one day

Until we had a scare

The carnival was near by

So we thought we'd give it a try

Me and my girl and my friend Jim

When a carny took a liking to him

So put on your prettiest dress

Wear your finest shoes

Cause baby we are dancing to the blues

He said he could tell future and past

So we gave him a shot at last

Jim asked "When will I meet my maker"

He said "You'll read it in tomorrows paper"

The floor was stained red

Just like the fortune teller said

I was the prime suspect in this case

So I fled to a familiar place

So put on your prettiest dress

And wear your finest shoes

Cause baby we are dancing to the blues

I know what you're gonna say

That I had a reason to end his day

But we knew from the start

That she had both of our hearts

So put on your prettiest dress

Wear your finest shoes

Cause baby we are dancing to the blues

So put on your prettiest dress

And wear your finest shoes

Cause baby we are dancing to the blues

Honey they're dressed in white

And they pump me full of pills

And they're gonna shut off my lights

They gonna shut off my lights

They're gonna give me the drill

They're gonna give me the drill

They're gonna give me give me give me give me give me the drill

They're gonna shut off my lights

I'm gonna die in this forsaken place

I didn't do it
