Here are the full lyrics to the honky-tonk song 'I Blame You" a simple number written back in my university days, when I played upright bass for the Chop Tops, a Rockabilly band that, beating all the odds, is still around and playing their hearts out . . .
I BLAME YOU
I Blame You
For all the hurtin' that I done
Yeah darlin' you - ah -hoo-hoo
For all the hearts . . .
That I won
Just to break them all in two
I blame you
Chorus:
Well I know that I'll see you in town tonight
Wearing that sweet sweet smile under the neon lights
I'll watch you go home with another guy
then I'll find another girl
and break her heart for you
I blame you
For all the lies
That I told
Yeah darling you - ah -hoo -hoo
You were a dream
I couldn't hold . . .
And there's nothing left to do . . .
But blame you
(Chorus)
I blame you . . .
You were the only girl for me
and I know
You'll say -a -hey -hey
That I was
the one to leave . . .
But I just couldn't handle you
Girl I blame you
(Chorus)
I blame you
You made me hate that other guy
with that way -a -hey -hey!
That you looked
into his eyes . . .
And when I'm wearin' my prison blue
Girl, I'll blame you!
