Lyrics:

I live in an apartment
I ain't worked in 16 years
How'm I gonna wander
If I can't get outta here?
I gots me a wife, gots a family
Dog and cat
How'm I supposed to feel
With something like that?
I got the lowdown blues
That's why I sing this song
I got the Mississippi lowdown blues
How long, Lord, how long?

Well I got the man down on the corner
I got the man at the bank
I got the man with the police sirens
Wanna throw me in the tank
I gots me four ugly woman, they're giving me fits
Got two ugly sisters with scoliosis
I got the lowdown blues
That's why I sing this song
I got that Mississippi lowdown blues
How long Lord, how long?

Well my baby took my money
Leastwise all I had
She took it down to Beale street
She ain't never coming back
Now the world is made of pyrite
Least that's what they say
gonna live til I'm a dead man
In new Erusalem- Jay
I got the lowdown blues
That's why I sing this song
I got the Mississippi lowdown blues
Ain't nothing really wrong
