(Not so original) Original Blues Song

This is my first attempt at writing a blues song so don't judge too harshly. It was fun and maybe I'll get better at it.


When I get tired and lonesome
Can't nothin in the world undo these blues
When I get tired and lonesome
Can't nothin in the world undo these blues
Nothin but a bottle and a woman
And one day they will put me in my tomb

Often times I lay awake at night
Askin why oh why can't I change my ways
Often times I lay awake at night
Askin why oh why can't I change my ways
Despair done took a hold on me
I'm feelin like it's the end of days

Well I went down to the church
Said 'Preacher what can I do?'
He said 'Boy ain't nothin I can do to help
I believe it's just too late for you

Well I get so tired and lonesome
Can't nothin in the world undo these blues
Nothin but a bottle and a woman
And one day they will put me in my tomb

Well I went to my dear mother
Said 'mother help me if you please'
She said 'Son you're on your own'
And I fell down on my knees

You know I often lay awake at night
Askin why oh why can't I change my ways
Despair done took a hold on me
Lord I do believe it is the end of days
