Semi fact. Semi fiction. For Kris, Johnny, and not to forget, Mary Lou
Sunday Moanin’ Blues
Words and music by Spyder Darling
Sunrise Sunday morning
On the Lower East Side
Stumbling drunk and grumblin’
But at least I’m alive
I don’t exactly recollect
The last couple days
Maybe in the long run it’s better that way.
How’d I get this tattoo?
Who’s Mary Lou?
How’m I gonna shake my Sunday moanin’ blues?
Pondering and wanderin’
Trying to buy beer
Everyplace I go tells me
Get outta here
Don’t you know it’s Sunday
And it’s not even noon?
Why’s it such a crime
To be thirsty so soon?
How’d I get this tattoo?
Who’s Mary Lou?
How’m I gonna shake my Sunday moanin’ blues?
