Lyrics:

[English]

...

I went down to the river

sat there all night long

...

wondering about my life

wondering what went wrong

blues in my bottle

sorrow

in my cup

Well I've been down for so long

It´s getting hard to get better

...

It´s hard to find a woman

even harder to find a friend

When I think loves beginning

It turns out to be the end

blues in my bottle

sorrow in my cup

...

Well I´ve been down for so long

It´s getting hard

to get back up

...

Well I've been drinking and drinking

to drive my blues away

It leaves me for the nighttime

but it is right back next day

blues in my bottle

sorrow

in my cup

...

...

...

Well I've been down for so long

It´s getting hard to get back up

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

I'm happy on the outside

folks think I´m ok

but I'm crying in the inside

see my tears fall like rain

blues in my bottle

...

sorrow

In my cup

Well I've been down for so long

It´s getting hard to get back up

...

...
