As The Years Go Passing By Lyrics - I'm A Jockey - Jimmy Johnson

Ah, the blues. 

The ball and chain that is 'round every English musician's leg. 

In fact, every musician's leg. 

Tryin' to kick it off, baby? 

No, no. 

You'll just never do it. 

And these are the blues of time, 

And the blues of a woman, 

And a man thinkin' of her 

As time goes by. 

There is nothin' I can do 

If you leave me here to cry 

There is nothin' I can do 

If you leave me here to cry 

You know, my love will follow you, baby, 

Mmm, until the day I die 

I've given you all I own; 

That is one thing you cannot deny 

Oh, I've given you all I own; 

Baby, that is one thing you cannot deny 

And my love will follow you, baby, 

Yeah, 

Till the day this man dies. 

I've got failure all around me, 

No matter how hard I try. 

I've got failure, 

It's all around me, 

No matter how hard I 

Try, try 

You know, my ghost will haunt you, baby, 

Until the day you stop down and die 

Well, you better get up 

Right now, right now 

Well, 

You think that you have left me behind 

And that with your other man you're safe 

And you're away from me, baby, but uh, 

One o' these days you're gonna break down and cry 

Because there is no escape from this man 

Because this man's love is so strong, 

He's gonna haunt you 

You know, my love will follow you, 

Mmm, until the day I die 

There is just one thing I want to tell you before I go 

I'm gonna leave it 

I'm gonna leave it 

Leave it up to you 

So long, 

baby, bye-bye 

Hey, I'm gonna leave it up to you, baby 

So long, 

baby, bye-bye 

Well, you know my love will follow you, 

Mmm, 'til the day I die 

Till the day I die [Repeat: x4] 

Till the day I am dead 

Till the day that they rest my head 

Till the day I die 

Till the day I, I, I, I die 

Till the day I die [Repeat: x3] 

Till the day that you die and I die 

Till the day I die [Repeat: x8] 

Die [Repeat: x4]
