I've been cryin' and my-oh-my-in' since she's been gone
But I've done some thinkin' and it's startin' to sink-in that life goes on
So if you're somebody who's feelin' sorry for yourself, better sing along
'Cause this is gonna be the last blues song

Now a little bitty bit of self pity can really sing
But it keeps on growin' and you know woe-woe-in' don't change a thing
So, if you're a person who's hooked on hurtin' on yourself, better sing along
'Cause this is gonna be the last blues song

Woh-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh, my oh my
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, I'm fit to die
Baby, baby, baby, baby, please don't go
Mama, I think I'm gettin' high on feelin' low-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh

All you losers and full time blues'ers get out of bed
Don't you go and give in, don't you give up on livin' before you're dead
Come on now, brother, if you've been motherin' yourself, better sing along
'Cause this is gonna be, this is gonna be the last blues song
