Feelin Down In Cincinatti Poem by Paul Henry Dallaire

Just when you think you've got it all
you find out you got nuthin
You could've lost your life
but a good man's hard to kill

Your Alice has gone to a wonderland
with a guy your kids call Daddy
You got the soup bone
she got the freezer and the meat

You knew her love had died when her kisses felt more
like mouth to mouth resuscitation
And the get up and go
she had got up and left

Now it's chewin the cud and reaching
for the bottle and the morning
You wake up dead
on her side 'o the bed

Chorus:
Now the blues ain't nuthin but a good man
feelin down in Cincinatti
While it's pouring rain
in sunny Tennessee

It's a Yukon love turned cold as ice
and your Burnin like Jamaica
Bit the Chinook winds of Albert
shall prevail

Verse:
What to do is sit back and look at your life
like an old Humphrey Bogart movie
Behind the window that you built
that shields your heart

here's to ya kid good-bye so long
it's been good to know ya
You see the blues ain't nuthin
but a good man feelin down
