AnybodyÔÇÖs better than nobody
ÔÇÿCause oneÔÇÖs never better than two
AnybodyÔÇÖs better than nobody
For me and my barefoot blues
IÔÇÖm spending money like water
And drinking life like wine
But itÔÇÖs a big old bed in a lonesome house
Unhappiness all I find
Once I danced in the sunshine
I used to laugh at the rain
Did the belly-rub with all kinds of men
Lord IÔÇÖd love to do it again
But in this sea of scorn & laughter
I look for the silvery moon
But thereÔÇÖs no one but me and my lonely key
A bare bulb rented room
IÔÇÖm going down to the river
Gonna have me a little swim
An autumn flower in the frozen rain
CanÔÇÖt believe the state IÔÇÖm in
ÔÇÿCause a body was better than nobody
And one seemed worse than two
When that anybody turned to nobody
And left me to my barefoot blues
