Handy Man Blues

Stompin Tom Connors


I got the "I don't know how to fix the damn thing blues"
I'm a handy man to hav earound when you're drinkin' booze
I can't mend my broken heart with a hammer, nails or screws
I'm a handy man with the "I don't know how to fix the damn thing blues"

Your just gonna have to come back to mend my broken heart
Cause every castle that I built was a dream that fell apart
I got the "I don't know how to fix the damn thing blues"
I'm a handy man to make dreams that don't come true
All I have is a broken heart and a tool set I can't choose
Like a handy man with the "I don't know how to fix the damn thing blues"

I used to be the ambitious kind to keep things in repair
But ever sense you said goodbye I guess I lost my flare
I got the "I don't know how to fix the damn thing blues"
I'm a handy man to make dreams that don't come true
All I have is a broken heart and a tool set I can't choose
I'm a handy man with "I don't know how to fix the damn thing blues"

I got the "I don't know how to fix the damn thing blues"
I'm a handy man to have around when you're drinkin' booze
I can't mend my broken heart with a hammer, nails and screws
I'm a handy man with the "I don't know how to fix the damn thing blues"
I'm a handy man with the "I don't know how to fix the damn thing blues"
