Song Information:

I added a little electric a while ago and have only now got around to uploading it. I'll add a lot more electric, cut back the steel, and redo the vocals one of these days.

Song Lyrics:

My baby she done left me, and she left me all alone,
and she took my book of blues cliches lying near the phone,
and that was not something that I should ever want to lose--
and it seems to me that I have the imitation blues

I've been drinking muddy water and sleeping in cold drains
and I went down to the station although we have no trains,
and I've been getting stuck right deep into the rotgut booze--
and I know thereby that I have the imitation blues

I hit the bottle badly: I was drinking from twelve bars;
I was drinking scotch and bourbon. and beer in ten oz jars;
I borrowed some bloke's boogie, but can't remember whose--
yet I do recall that I have the imitation blues

Though life is full of troubles when the blues fall down like rain,
if imagination fail just use standard lines again;
you'll never need to seek your inspiration from a muse,
and I believe you too could have the imitation blues.

My baby she done left me and she left me feeling sad;
she took away the endings from the adverbs which I had,
and I've been so downhearted ever since I got the news--
but I know somehow that I have the imitation blues;
oh, it seems to me that I have the old recycled blues;
yes, I know by now that I have the imitation blues.
