The rain fell on my window, the wind was at my door,
I tried to light my fire, I was feelin' mighty cold,
My woman gone an' left me, to look after myself,
I thought I'd hit the city, I don't want no one else,

Chorus:
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh,
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh,
I thought I'd hit the city, don't want no one else

Made a cup of coffee, smoked my last cigarette,
I put on my big coat, never paid no rent,
Trudging through the puddles, water's got my shoes,
In my head's a sad song, guess I've got the blues,

Chorus:
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh,
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh,
In my head's a sad song, guess I've got the blues

Sky was gettin' greyer, day was drawin' in,
Got myself a paper, light was pretty dim,
Stood up on the bridge, I thought I'd drown myself,
River look real cruel, couldn't make no sense,

Chorus:
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh,
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh,
River look real cruel, couldn't make no sense
