Sittin' on a blues barrel Sick and tired of tryin' If I ever get a ride again I'll shake it like a lion Shake it like a tiger Shake it like a bear Shake it like the wind of time Was whistlin' 'thru my hair ♪ Sittin' on a blues barrel Finger up my nose Sittin' on a blues barrel That's the way it goes Sittin' on a blues barrel A pistol in my paw Gonna be a showdown Like you never saw Gonna shoot the lights out Gonna shoot the floor Gonna plug the blues barrel And run on out the door ♪ Sittin' on a blues barrel Smellin' like a rose Sittin' on a blues barrel Moanin' 'bout my woes Sittin' on a blues barrel Bleedin' at the heart Girl I almost married Just left and took the car I'm sure gonna miss you My bright and shining star But if you don't come back Babe, at least return the car ♪ Sittin' on a blues barrel Sleepin' in my clothes Sittin' on a blues barrel God almighty knows
