If It Wasn't For You lyrics


Tampa Red



(instrumental intro)

I couldn't do like I should
I wouldn't be understood
If it wasn't for you, sweet you

I'd be merrily in Spain
I would be living in pain
If it wasn't for you, sweet you

I would be worser than a vagabond, yas, yas
I couldn't rhyme, I couldn't write
I would be lonesome at night 'bout you, for you

I wouldn't know what to do
I'd be ever so lonesome and blue, blue, blue
If it wasn't for you, sweet you

'Yeah, get it now, join in'

(instrumental & kazoo)

I would be worser than a vagabond
I would be worser than a vagabond, yas, yas
I couldn't rhyme, I couldn't write
I'd be lonesome at night 'bout you, for you

I wouldn't know what to do
I'd be ever so lonesome and blue, yas, yas
If it wasn't for you, my sweet you-ooo.
