I go downtown

Lay by the railroad tracks

I'm gonna go downtown

Lay down by the railroad tracks

You see I don't want nothin'

Since my baby, she ain't comin' back



My lady she's gone

Took all my reason to live

My baby she gone

Took all my reason to live

Since she don't want me

I got nothin' left to give



Chorus:

She won't see me

Won't pick up the telephone

I wonder if she knows

She's the reason that I'll be gone



Lay in my bed

Stare at the ceiling for a while

I'm gonna lay in my bed

Stare at the ceiling for a while

My baby gonna miss me

My lady gonna miss me when I die



(Repeat Chorus)



Got my pills

Got my bottle of gin

I'm gonna swallow my pills

Swallow my bottle of gin

When I close my eyes

I won't see the sun again



(Repeat Chorus)



Get me a gun

Go back into my room

I'm gonna get me a gun

One with a barrel or two

You know I'm better off dead than

Singing these suicide blues
