[Verse 1]
Well, I’m just a post on which you lean
Never your love, just a go-between
Change of a heart that can’t be free
The image of a man I thought I’d be

[Chorus]
Alone, so low, with misery
Nothing but blues for company
Well, if things get worse, I can’t shake this curse
Then start draggin' the river for me

[Verse 2]
Well, the flame of love once warmed my soul
Now it’s a spot so dark and cold
Tears that I’ve cried won’t flow no more
'Cause my heart just died at heaven’s door

[Chorus]
Alone, so low, with misery
Nothing but blues for company
Well, if things get worse, I can’t shake this curse
Then start draggin' the river for me
Then start draggin' the river for me
