Origin of the Blues
I don't know
What I'm gonna do
No I don't know, no no no child
Just what I'm gonna do
I gotta find me
The origin of my blues
I went to the kitchen
To see if my blues were there
Said I went to the kitchen
To see if my blues were there
I didn't find no blues
So I made me a sandwich
And I ate it in my chair
Gonna go to the movie
See what's on the screen
Said I went to the movie show
See what's on the big screen
Well, I paid my seven dollars
And did not learn a thing
Took me to the school now
Gonna learn where the blues come from
I took myself to the school now
To learn where the blues come from
Well I left my teacher standing there
He made me feel so dumb
Look out now...
See I dont know, I don't know
Where I got my blues
Said I don't know, I don't know child
Just where I got these blues
But there's one thing I know
Makes me feel so much better now,
When I share 'em with you
