Lyrics for Uncle Bob's Midnight Blues

Goin' down to the corner Gonna have myself a drink Goin' down to the corner Gonna have myself a drink 'Cause that shit that we been usin' Sure confuse my thinking Gonna send out to the drugstore Buy myself a goat Tie him up in my front yard For all my so-called friends to see Ain't nobody gonna look in window and laugh at me I been up so long That it looks like down to me Please don't talk about to me when I'm gone Baby, are you against me too? Had a great idea the other night Come-A-Ti-Yi-Yippie, baby Look out When the blue of the night meets the gold of the day We love you We love you We love you
