I felt like writing something Robert Johnson-esque, so here:
O I 've got the broken neck blues now
O lord the broken neck blues
It's running all down my leg to the wings of my shoes
That's why they've hung me so high
I could not survive
I've been stringing along now
string, string, stringing along
I've been a swinging a long time
With these broken neck blues
I couldn't feel more alive
They've called my number now
O don't hold my place in line
They've called my number
Says it 4-0-9
I'd be drinking it off now
O, if only I had some wine
I'd be stroking it off now
But now it seems it's my time
I was thinking all up until
My love went and broke my life
O I 've got the broken neck blues now
O lord the broken neck blues
It's running all down my leg to the wings of my shoes
That's why they've hung me so high
I could not survive
I've been stringing along now
string, string, stringing along
I've been a swinging a long time
With these broken neck blues
I couldn't feel more alive
They've called my number now
O don't hold my place in line
They've called my number
Says it 4-0-9
I'd be drinking it off now
O, if only I had some wine
I'd be stroking it off now
But now it seems it's my time
I was thinking all up until
My love went and broke my life
