"Yer Blues" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

As Released by the Beatles (1968)

Two, three.

Yes I'm lonely - wanna die
Yes I'm lonely - wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooo - girl you know the reason why.

In the morning - wanna die
In the evening - wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Wuh - girl you know the reason why.

My mother was of the sky
My father was of the earth
But I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth.

I'm lonely - wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Wuh - girl you know the reason why.

The eagle picks my eye
The worm he licks my bone,
Feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones.

Lonely - wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Wuh - girl you know the reason why.

Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feels so suicidal
Even hate my rock 'n' roll.

Wanna die, yeah wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Wuh girl - you know the reason why.

Yes I'm lonely - wanna die
Yes I'm lonely - wanna die
... Girl you know the reason why.

... Wanna die
In the evening ...
