lyrics
Sittin’ on the porch in the midday sun
Man he ain’t gettin’ no work done
Old straw hat and worn out shoes
Looks like Red’s got the blues
Looks like Red done lost a bet
They took all his money and shaved his head
What can you do, when your luck ain’t true
Looks like Red’s got the blues
Red’s got the blues so he’s hittin’ the bottle
Drinkin’ that moonshine down, full-throttle
He can try to wash those sorrows away
But tomorrow’s just another day
It’s yesterday’s news but...
It looks like Red’s got the blues
No job, no woman and a leaky roof
Red’s got problems that are 80 proof
May have erred when forced to choose
Looks like Red’s got the blues
