Dan Griffith Songwriter
Derby Blues
Written in 1973 outside of Churchill Downs after watching Secretariat win the Kentucky Derby with a time still unbeaten today.
Special guest Bill Tarsha on harmonic

I lost all my money
I m hung over, hungry
How will I ever survive
Went all in on horse number five
Derby blues, Derby blues
I never win more than I lose
I got the Kentucky Derby day blues
A Fine Kentucky tradition
My fatal addiction
Living for the next bet
And the rush of the win that I seldom get
Derby blues, Derby blues
I never win more than I lose
I got the Kentucky Derby day blues
Once I stood tall
Great job, fine wife, lord I had it all
Now I v lost that home
Cause I can t leave the bourbon, the horses alone
Derby blues, Derby blues
I never win more than I lose
I got the Kentucky Derby day blues
