lyrics

Well now I guess I got nothin' to loose
my lover is gone like the Sundays in June
Pick myself up and go down to the bar
and play for the penny's they put in my jar
Daddy said pickers they always will eat
with strings on your back you'll have someplace to sleep

So whistle down dixie
join me in a song
I'm playin' tonight but I won't be here long
I know Johnny and Patsy some old Janis blues
I might give it away but I don't do it for you

Time marches on leavin' lines on your face
those memories call when I open my case
The lovers all fade but the songs never will
When you sing broken hearted your glass will get filled

So whistle down dixie
join me in a song
I'm playin' tonight but I won't be here long
I know Johnny and Patsy some old Janis blues
I might give it away but I don't do it for you

You're tryin' to keep that last sunset at bay
so much skin in the game it's like you almost can't play
your night's gettin' hot but your mornin' is cold
it's them secrets for sale lonlieness bought and sold

So whistle down dixie
join me in a song
I'm playin' tonight but I won't be here long
I know Johnny and Patsy some old Janis blues
I might give it away but I don't do it for you
