Pastime Blues Songtext
von Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys

I′ve had a lot of pastime in my life
But never before the pastime blues
Well, that's what it is now
Oh, Mr. Jimmie, Jimmie Widener that is

Used to feel high
High as a sky
Happy that I was livin′ (yeah)
Now, I'm low as a ground
My gal's not around (uh-oh, uh-oh)
She′s giving me those pastime blues (yes-)

Life was a song
Strollin′ along
Gayly my heart was singing
My heart sings no more
The slam of the door (ah)
It's ringin′ out those pastime blues


She beats me, mistreats me
She isn't true
But I love that gal
So, what can I do?

If she returns
She′s better learn
It's me that she′s been missin'
The people around know that she's turned me down
Left me with those pastime blues
(Yeah! Altogether here now)

She beats me, mistreats me (ah)
She isn′t true
But I love that gal
So, what can I do?

If she returns
She′s better learn
It's me that she′s been missin'
The people around know that she′s turned me down
Left me with those pastime blues
And left me with those pastime blues
