Helpless Blues Lyrics - Singles - Bromberg David

You know she took the Chevrolet with her this morning, people 

She didnt leave me nothing but a mule to ride 

She took the car this morning 

Left me an old mule to ride 

You know, when the car backed out the driveway 

That old mule laid down and died 

She didnt leave me nothing, people 

Nothing but this old helpless blues 

She didnt leave me nothing, people 

Nothing but this old helpless blues 

I turned it into my apartment 

Yes, and a cardboard suitcase full of "I owe you" 

I said, what did you do to me, baby 

Oh, how can you just stand right there in my face and watch me cry? 

Oh, tell me, baby, how can you stand in my face, watch me cry? 

Oh, she said: I got news for you 

Oh, darling, I can stand in your face and watch you die! 

She took my ring right off the night stand, people 

You know, she went and put my grandpa's watch in the pawn 

She took my gold diamond ring off the night stand, people 

She put my grandpa's watch in pawn 

She said: if you dont believe Im leaving, baby 

If you dont believe Im leaving, baby 

If you dont believe Im going, sweet thing 

If you dont think Im quitting Denver 

Why just you count those days are gone?
