  • I get a little sadness now just now and then
    It comes to remind me what it was like when
    I was out on that road
    Happy, hungry and cold
    First you win and then you lose

    Oh Lord, I got the Zimmerman blues
    Oh Lord, I got the Zimmerman blues
    Oh Lord, I got the Zimmerman blues
    Oh Lord, I got the Zimmerman blues

    Don't give me money now
    If it’s bad for my head
    You can keep the honey now
    Put something else on the bread
    To lose all them old time friends
    Who missed how they were making it end
    And we all wound up confused

    That's what you call the Zimmerman blues
    What you call the Zimmerman blues
    That's what you call the Zimmerman blues
    What you call the Zimmerman blues

    Do a concert for Angela
    Build a building or two
    It gets harder for me but easier for you
    Sure as the stars turn above
    All we ever asked for was love
    And I think that we’ve all been used

    Ending up with the Zimmerman blues
    Ending up with the Zimmerman blues
    Ending up with the Zimmerman blues
    Ending up with the Zimmerman blues

    I get a little sadness now just now and then
    It comes to remind me
    When I called you a friend
    So where do we go from here?
    For me it won't ever get that near
    And if it did I know what I would choose

    Anything but the Zimmerman blues
    Anything but the Zimmerman blues
    Anything but the Zimmerman blues
    Anything but the Zimmerman blues Publisher: T.R.O. INC.
