Zimmerman Blues lyrics

I get a little sadness now, just now and then

It comes to remind me, what it was like when

I was out on the road

Happy, hungry and cold

First you win and then you lose

Oh, Lord, I've got the Zimmerman blues

Oh, Lord, I've got the Zimmerman blues

Oh, Lord, I've got the Zimmerman blues

Oh, Lord, I've got the Zimmerman blues

Don't give me money now, 'cause it's bad for my head

You can keep the honey now, put something else on that bread

To lose all them old time friends

Who missed how they were making it end

And we all wound up confused

That's what you call the Zimmerman blues

What you call the Zimmerman blues

That's what you call the Zimmerman blues

What you call the Zimmerman blues

Do a concert for Angela, build a building or two

It gets harder for me, but easier for you

As sure as the stars turn above

All we ever asked for was love

And I think that we've all been used

Ending up with the Zimmerman blues

Ending up with the Zimmerman blues

Ending up with the Zimmerman blues

Ending up with the Zimmerman blues

I get a little sadness now, just now and then

It comes to remind me, when I called you a friend

So where do we go from here?

For me it won't ever get that near

And if it did, I know what I would choose

Anything but the Zimmerman blues

Anything but the Zimmerman blues

Anything but the Zimmerman blues

Anything but the Zimmerman blues

Anything but the Zimmerman blues

Anything but the Zimmerman blues

Anything but the Zimmerman blues

Anything but the Zimmerman blues
