DUNGEON BLUES DK (Sung to-- Oh, hell it's the blues; do whatever works.) When I woke up this mornin' All my holdings were gone; (holdings were gone) Said I woke up this mornin' And my holdings were gone. (holdings were gone) What the hell is a "holding" anyway? Something's def'nitely wrong. (def'nitely wrong) I checked my surroundings And something had changed; (something had changed) Well, I checked my surroundings And they'd def'nitely changed. (something had changed) Could've sworn I had a bedroom, and I don't remember wearing chains. (We-ar-in' chains) One and one is two; Two and two is four. I got a funny feeling That I've seen this place before. Oh, yeah, (Oh yeah!) I really do. I've got those "Arrested-locked-up-naked-and-thrown-in-the-dungeon" blues. What happened to my mansion, My family and my shoes? (where are my shoes?) I used to have a mansion, For my family and my shoes. (where are my shoes?) I could get another mansion, but I really, really loved those shoes. (I loved those shoes) Last thing I remember, I was fighting a duel; (fighting a duel) With the King's favorite nephew, I was fighting a duel. (You were a fool!) Well, I guess I was the winner, but Looks like I'm the loser, too. Pommes frites are potatoes, And cabbage is slaw. Now I'm locked away forever, 'Cause duelin's 'gainst the law. Oh, yeah, (oh yeah) I'll pay my dues. With those "Forfeit-lands-and-titles-and-cast-in-the-dungeon" blues. They feed me bread and water, Occasionally some stew. ('Casionally stew) Well I eat is bread and water And avoid that nasty stew. (It takes like glue) Well, I should complain to someone, Don't know what good it would do. (good it would do) Now my best friends are a cockroach, A pebble, and a flea. (a-and a flea) Tell my secrets to a coackroach, A pebble, and a flea. (a-and a flea) Someday if I can leave here, Gonna take my friends with me. (Friends with me) The birds got no worries, The bees got no cares. And if I'm executed, Then at least I'll get some air. Oh, yeah, (oh yeah) will I make it through? All these "Never-see-the-light-of-day- Say-goodbye-to-nobility- Might-as-well-get-used-to-it- Hand-me-that-harmonica- Arrested-locked-up-naked-and- Thrown-in-the-dungeon" blues.
