(Sam Mayo)
Lew Stone & His Band
When you’re tired, lonesome,
Walking around the town
And the rain comes uninvited in your shoes
What are you going to say
What are you going to do
Sing the down and out blues
All you possess in this great big world
Is an appetite that you’re trying your best to lose
What are you going to say
What are you going to do
Sing the down and out blues
When your dreams and schemes have gone astray
And your pals and gals have left you on your own
Laugh and the world laughs with you
Weep and you weep alone
What can you do, where can you go to
Beggars cannot choose
Tired, lonesome
Walking around the town
Singing the down and out blues
