Been playin' blues all-a my life
Always have been that way
But I've a got tired of these bills comin' in
And I don't have the money to pay

That is why, I gotta put it down
So I'm gonna tell ya again
It's gonna be my last time around

Well please don't try to tell me
'Bout all the money I made
Last night I went out an' I played all night
When it was over I didn't get paid

That is why, I gotta put it down
So I'm gonna tell ya again
This gonna be my last time around

Well I know I'm in the wrong business
That don't bother me
I'm gonna take my saxophone an' sell it
I'm goin' down in Tennessee

That is why, I gotta put it down
So I'm gonna tell ya again
This gonna be my last time around
