Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was up this mornin', ah, blues walkin' like a man
I was up this mornin', ah, blues walkin' like a man
Worried blues, give me you right hand
[Verse 2]
And the blues fell mama's child, tore me all upside down
Blues fell mama's child, and it tore me all upside down
Travel on, poor Bob, just can't turn you 'round
[Verse 3]
The blues, is a low-down shakin' chill, yes, preach 'em now
Mhm, Is a low-down shakin' chill
You ain't never had 'em, I hope you never will
[Verse 4]
Well, the blues, is a achin' old heart diease
Do it now, what you gonna do? Tell me all about it
The blues, is a low-down achin' heart desease
Like consumption, killing me by dregrees
[Verse 5]
I can study rain, oh oh drive my blues
I been studyin' the rain, I'm gonna drive my blues away
Goin' to the 'stil'ry, stay out there all day
