Mr Pianoman

I don't want no opera

No cha-cha, no mambo

My baby's gone and left me

And I'm feelin' mighty low

Mr. Pianoman

Play me some down-home blues

It's a story that's old

And can only be told with the blues

Let your left hand tell my misery

Your right hand tell my pain

Since he left, he took the sunshine

Left me standin' here in the rain

Mr. Pianoman

Play me some down-home blues

Let me seat here and groove

'Cause I'm just in the mood for the blues

Mr. Pianoman

Now you know how it feels

Uhh, ooh, uh

Mr. Pianoman

You know his love was real, uh, yes, you do

When a lover fear a friend

Then, the woman's best friend is the blues

Ooh, Mr. Pianoman

Play me some down-home blues
