yer blues

John Lennon

Recorded live at the varsity stadium, toronto, 13 september 1969


-"yer blues, okay?"

One, two, yeah... one, two, three...

Yes, i'm lonely, wanna die;
Yes, i'm lonely, wanna die.
If i ain't dead already,
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why.

In the mornin', wanna die;
In the evenin', wanna die.
If i ain't dead already,
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why.

My mother was of the sky,
My father was of the earth;
But i am of the universe,
And you know what it's worth.

I'm lonely, wanna die.
If i ain't dead already,
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why.

The eagle picks my eye,
The worm he licks my bone;
I feel so suicidal,
Just like dylan's mister jones.

Lonely, wanna die.
If i ain't dead already,
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why.

Black cloud crossed my mind,
Blue mist round my soul,
Feel so suicidal,
Even hate my rock and roll.

I'm lonely, wanna die, yeah!
If i ain't dead already,
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why.
