Our version of the Big Bopper, JP Richardson's rockabilly classic..

lyrics

The door was slammed, you walked away
His arm around you, I heard you say
I never loved him, I love but you
And Lord those crazy blues

I'm going downtown to buy a gun
I'll get me a long black shiny one
I'm going to end it, my troubles too
And Lord those crazy blues

I made you my queen, both night and day
Snap your little finger and I'll be your slave
You didn't want to wear the crown
You didn't want to be the queen
You've got that kind of lovin' that makes me want to scream

Roll me over, and roll me slow
The wounds that I made, they hurt me so
the wounds that you made, they hurt me too
And Lord those crazy blues
