Children can you spare me some
You know I'm living under the weather
Remember what Hank Williams said
My friends we're all in this together
So take my photo for a dime or two
I got mud on my shoes and the Mercury Blues
Mercury Blues
Commercial holographic s**
Oh Malcolm X my soul is gone
Can you dig me livin' off the fat
Of the White House lawn
Hey Stagger Lee don't point that thing at me
I hold a pair of twos and the Mercury Blues
The Mercury Blues
If you been up on the levee
You know the water is high
But no one wants to hear it down in the city
The blues just makes them cry
Cry
Well mama was a circus girl
She always let the lions go free nightly
And daddy gathered moss
And sold it to the robbers on the highway
I am a b***erfly since I shed my skin
I got nothing to lose but the Mercury Blues
The Mercury Blues
