Suicide Blues Lyrics
I go downtown
Lay by the railroad tracks
I'm gonna go downtown
Lay down by the railroad tracks
You see I don't want nothin'
Since my baby, she ain't comin' back
My lady she's gone
Took all my reason to live
My baby she gone
Took all my reason to live
Since she don't want me
I got nothin' left to give
Chorus:
She won't see me
Won't pick up the telephone
I wonder if she knows
She's the reason that I'll be gone
Lay in my bed
Stare at the ceiling for a while
I'm gonna lay in my bed
Stare at the ceiling for a while
My baby gonna miss me
My lady gonna miss me when I die
(Repeat Chorus)
Got my pills
Got my bottle of gin
I'm gonna swallow my pills
Swallow my bottle of gin
When I close my eyes
I won't see the sun again
(Repeat Chorus)
Get me a gun
Go back into my room
I'm gonna get me a gun
One with a barrel or two
You know I'm better off dead than
Singing these suicide blues
Lay by the railroad tracks
I'm gonna go downtown
Lay down by the railroad tracks
You see I don't want nothin'
Since my baby, she ain't comin' back
Took all my reason to live
My baby she gone
Took all my reason to live
Since she don't want me
I got nothin' left to give
She won't see me
Won't pick up the telephone
I wonder if she knows
She's the reason that I'll be gone
Stare at the ceiling for a while
I'm gonna lay in my bed
Stare at the ceiling for a while
My baby gonna miss me
My lady gonna miss me when I die
Got my bottle of gin
I'm gonna swallow my pills
Swallow my bottle of gin
When I close my eyes
I won't see the sun again
Go back into my room
I'm gonna get me a gun
One with a barrel or two
You know I'm better off dead than
Singing these suicide blues

I love this song! It's my second favorite cross canadian ragweed song. It's catchy. I guess I love the blues so maybe that's why I love the guitar riffs and music behind the lyrics. Even though the lyrics are sad the music and his voice aren't. It's like a happy suicide song. Like he is hysterical.
