King’s House Blues

Oh, my baby’s gone,

She left me for a different kind of man.

Oh, my baby’s gone,

Lord, I’m doing everything I can.

I thought she’d be forever,

But forever came and passed,

Now I’m sitting here with these blues,

Trying to forget the past.

Oh, my baby’s gone,

Guess there’s nothing else to cry about.

Yeah, my baby’s gone,

So I’m gonna let these blues right out.

It’s a party night

at the King’s house tonight,

Turn that jukebox up and turn out the lights.

She broke my heart,

but I’ll be alright— It’s a party night at the King’s house

tonight! Got a cold drink in my hand,

Got my old guitar by my side.

My friends keep saying,

“Man, forget that woman and let it ride!”

She found herself another,

Well, I guess that’s how it goes.

But tonight I’m dancing

Till the morning sun shows.

Oh, my baby’s gone,

Guess there’s nothing else to cry about.

Yeah, my baby’s gone,

So I’m gonna let these blues right out.

It’s a party night

at the King’s house tonight,

Everybody’s laughing underneath the porch light.

She broke my heart,

but I’ll be

alright— It’s a party night at the King’s house tonight! (Yeah…)

She took her suitcase,

She took my heart too…

But she didn’t take the whiskey,

And she sure didn’t take my blues!

Oh, my baby’s gone,

But I ain’t gonna sit around and moan.

Oh, my baby’s gone,

Tonight I’m gonna make this house my own.

It’s a party night at the King’s house tonight,

Blues in the air and the moon shining bright.

Baby walked out, but I’m feeling alright— It’s a party night at

the King’s house tonight!
