I'm sorry for myself So sorry for myself Someone I love said good-bye And no one's sorry for me that's why I'm so sorry for myself I'm blue as I can be My man walked out on me I'd go home and end it all But fourteen stories is an awful fall I'm so sorry for myself I'm feeling mighty sad I never looked so bad I have lost my appetite Couldn't eat my second steak last night I'm so sorry for myself So very blue am I I wish I could die Wish I had a nasty cough I'd buy a gun but then it might go off I'm so sorry for myself I soon could end my woes Down where the river flows I would jump right in the sea But no one may be there to rescue me I'm so sorry for myself
