Big City Blues

Just think tonight is Thanksgiving

Everyone's going somewhere

Nobody knows that I'm living

They pass me by, I wonder why

I'm all alone every night

How I moan and how I fight

Those big city blues

I walk for miles, place to place

No one smiles to help me chase

Those big city blues

I'm like a little tot who needs a lot

Of tenderness and care

All I've got is just a lot of sorrow and despair

Won't someone please talk to me

Don't refuse, hear my plea

And help me lose those big city blues

Each evening at 6 PM

I slide out and look at them

I'm hoping some nice person will meet me, greet me

Before I know it's 12 o'clock

I feel like jumping right off the dock

Because I haven't found a person to cheer me, dear me

No one ever comes near me

I'm all alone every night

How I moan and how I fight

Those big city blues

I walk for miles, place to place

No one smiles to help me chase

Those big city blues

I'm like a little tot who needs a lot

Of tenderness and care

But all I've got is just a lot of sorrow and despair

Won't someone please talk to me

Don't refuse, hear my plea

And help me lose those big city blues
