Walkin' on the shore   Feelin' mighty bad   These have been the worst   Ol' blues I ever had   So far   Since you've gone   So far      Clouds around my brain   How can I drain   These Gulf Coast Blues away      Talkin' to myself   Tellin' me lies   Wonderin' if the tide   Will ever rise   Again   Since you've gone   Again      Clouds around my brain   How can I drain   These Gulf Coast Blues away      Ships a comin' in   Fog around the shore   Wonderin' if you'll be   Waitin' at my door   Tonight   Oh Lord   Tonight      Clouds around my brain   How can I drain   These Gulf Coast Blues away      If love is an ocean where all the rivers end   Blues must be the feelin' while you're waitin' for the wind
