I don't ride in no Limosine's,
Can't afford no night club scenes...
Steak and wine is beyond my means...
I call my home these faded jeans...
Well I got just enough money to buy me a
Case of the blues... I got just enough money...
To buy me... a case of the blues... oh yeah
Found me a quarter in the combat zone...
I reach up and stick it in the old pay phone...
My baby's machine is sayin she's not home
Just leave your name and your number...
After the tone...
Now I got just enough money... to buy me
A case of the blues... yeah I just enough money
To buy me a case of the blues... oh oh yeah
I got just enough money... to buy me... a case of the
Blues...
You know the days too long
When your down on your luck...
I never get no good news...
I've been broke so long, the only thing I can buy
Is a bad case of the blues... oh yeah...
Baby, buy me the blues...
Ran into this joker in his cadallac...
He owed me some dough... he wanted... to pay it back,
He said you can double your money, at the pony track,
But my horse didn't finish, had a heart attack...
Now I got just enough money to buy me a case
Of the blues... yeah I got just enough money...
To buy me a case of the blues... oh yeah...
I got just enough money... to buy me a case of the blues
Oh yeah... got just enough money...
To buy me... a case of the blues... oh yeah
Hey, hey... just enough money... to buy me the blues...
