Steve Aitken
on Sittin' in a Corner Blues
Intro - (instrumental verse)
Well I had nothing, and she had something
She had me warned, but she was only bluffing,
And I got these low-down, sitting-in-a-corner, blues,
Nobody come around, to give me no news,
Nobody come around, even to say how are you.
I met her on a Monday when I had money,
She left me broke and sore on Sunday, and that wasn't funny,
Cos I got these low-down, sitting-in-a-corner, blues,
Nobody come around, to give me no news,
Nobody come around, even to say how are you.
(instrumental verse)
Well everybody warned me, they said stay away from there,
They said boy, you've got it coming and I guess I got my share,
Cos I got these low-down, sitting-in-a-corner, blues,
Nobody come around, to give me no news,
Nobody come around, even to say how are you.
Well I'd like you to know, I got better since then,
And I'm making certain that it don't happen again,
Oh no, no more low-down sitting-in-a-corner blues,
When nobody come around, to give me no news,
Nobody come around, even to say how are you.
Outro - (instrumental verse)
