    LET ME OFF UPTOWN LOWDOWN BLUES I've got the lowdown, the lowest of the lowdown blues, And it feels just like my crown is sinking right on through my shoes. And it's not because Ifm broke with all my clothes in pawn Since, that morn I woke inside my baby's arms, I was born to lose, I got the lowest of the lowdown blues, Believe me now that fellow, bever told no lie, He said, you never miss the water till the well runs dry. One who took my sweetie, he better leave this shore, or there will surely be some crepe a-hanging around his door, Oh, I got the lowdoen, lowest of the lowdown blues this eve. It feels like my crown is slowly sinking down through my shoes When I lost my way to go, and I never ever even sigh But when my darling quit me cold, I nearly laid down and die With that born to lose, I got the lowest of the lowdown blues, I got the lowest of the lowdown blues*
