Lyrics

I went down to the ocean to watch the seals swim by
I went down to the sea where the stately pelicans fly
And then I saw what was written on the sign

I got the co-o-o-ovid ni-ineteen blues
the coro-o-ona vi-irus blues

Since I left my baby, no ain’t nothin been right
Since I left my darlin, no little thing’s been right
And now the little sparrows fall out of the sky

I got the co-o-o-ovid ni-ineteen blues
the coro-o-ona vi-irus blues

I gotta stay away six feet from my brother
I gotta stay away six feet from my lover
Sometimes I’d think I’d rather shelter six feet under

I got the co-o-o-ovid ni-ineteen blues
the coro-o-ona vi-irus blues

Can’t keep their knee off the neck of my brother
Can’t keep their bullets out of the chest of my sister
Now we gonna fly with a different weather

I got the co-o-o-ovid ni-ineteen blues
the coro-o-ona vi-irus blues
