Hey I've got those blues I'm wearing out the soles of my shoes
Yes I've got those blues I'm wearing out the soles of my shoes

Because another man has got my woman and gone

You'll never miss your water until the well runs dry
You'll never miss your water until the well runs dry

Lord the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long
Lord the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long
Because another man has got my woman and gone
