When a man is broke,
when a man is broke
B'lieve me folks,
it ain't no joke
When a man is broke
B'lieve me folks,
it ain't no joke
Just like Humpty Dumpty,
he stays broke
If you've got a thirst,
if you've got a thirst
Puffin' dust with every breath
If you've got a thirst
Puffin' dust with every breath
Hunt a river,
drink yourself to death

I've got the down and out blues
Doggonedest Blues
Sure have got the best of me, lately
There ain't no doctor
can find a remedy
I said the down and out blues
What can I use?
Cert'nly got me up a tree, greatly
There ain't no druggist
can end my misery
Now I ain't got nothin' much
Shoesies or such,
hosiery, hats or clothes
And there ain't nobody cares
Nobody shares none
of my worries or woes
I dream of steamheated flats
Welcome door mats
And a sweetie I can't lose, never
But when I wake up
I've got the down and out blues

I've got the down and out blues
Doggonedest Blues
Sure have got the best of me, lately
There ain't no doctor
can find a remedy
I said the down and out blues
What can I use?
Cert'nly got me up a tree, greatly
There ain't no druggist
can end my misery
Now I ain't got nothin' much
Shoesies or such,
hosiery, hats or clothes
And there ain't nobody cares
Nobody shares none
of my worries or woes
I dream of steamheated flats
Welcome door mats
And a sweetie I can't lose, never
But when I wake up
I've got the down and out blues

If your shoes are thin,
if your shoes are thin
Every step gives you a pain
If your shoes are thin
Every step gives you a pain
When they're gone
you're on your feet again
When a man is blue,
when a man is blue
Lays down on a railroad track
When a man is blue
Lays down on a railroad track
Nice girl passes,
pulls his head right back

I've got the down and out blues
Doggonedest Blues
Sure have got the best of me, lately
There ain't no doctor
can find a remedy
I said the down and out blues
What can I use?
Cert'nly got me up a tree, greatly
There ain't no druggist
can end my misery
Now I ain't got nothin' much
Shoesies or such,
hosiery, hats or clothes
And there ain't nobody cares
Nobody shares none
of my worries or woes
I dream of steamheated flats
Welcome door mats
And a sweetie I can't lose, never
But when I wake up
I've got the down and out blues

I've got the down and out blues
Doggonedest Blues
Sure have got the best of me, lately
There ain't no doctor
can find a remedy
I said the down and out blues
What can I use?
Cert'nly got me up a tree, greatly
There ain't no druggist
can end my misery
Now I ain't got nothin' much
Shoesies or such,
hosiery, hats or clothes
And there ain't nobody cares
Nobody shares none
of my worries or woes
I dream of steamheated flats
Welcome door mats
And a sweetie I can't lose, never
But when I wake up
I've got the down and out blues
