Gather around, people
And hear my story
About a life gone bad
I've got the blues 'cause I'm wearin' cement shoes

It was a night to remember
Let me tell you 
I'll not soon forget
How her body felt next to mine
On the dance floor
She was this side of divine (so fine)
A graceful wristed lemon twist with a sprinkle of spice
A sweet and sour drink of Nordstrom naughty and nice
But when Big Gun Daddy Bigbucks hit the floor
The lights went out for me and there was nothing more 

Gather around, people
And hear my story
About a life gone bad
I've got the blues 'cause I'm wearin' cement shoes 

Down here at the bottom see the fishies swimmin' by
Think about my honey and I bubble up a sigh
Her man can tie my hands and sink my body in the lake
But she was worth the fears the jealous man can never shake 

Draggin' the lake, people
You better hurry 
I think my air is gone
I've got the blues 'cause I'm wearin' cement shoes
I've got the blues 'cause I'm wearin' cement shoes
I've got the blues 'cause I'm wearin' cement shoes
