Connecticut Blues Lyrics

Delbert Mcclinton Connecticut Blues

[Verse 1]
I put some potatoes in to bake
Picked up a couple of real nice steaks
I'm chillin' her favorite Chilean wine
Everything was right on time
But she won't be comin' home tonight
They canceled the flight

[Verse 2]
Now you can imagine my disappointment in hearin' that
Looks like dinner's just gonna be me and the cat
This has happened to me just too many times
I feel like I'm payin' for somebody else's crime
So as I sip the wine and whine
I got the low-down, snow-bound
Connecticut blues
The part I love to hate the most
Is gettin' more of somethin' I can't use
[Verse 3]
I've got tears runnin' down my face
I've got blues all over the place
The good times just won't let me in
I tried over and over again
So as I sip the wine and whine
I got them low-down, snow-bound
Connecticut blues
