A Man and the Blues

What can a man do

When the blues keep following him around

What can a poor man do

When the blues keep following him around

Get him a half pint of good liquor

And sit down and drink 'em on down

Look out!

The way I feel sometimes

I feel like drinking me some gasoline

I'm tellin' you, the way I feel sometimes

I feel like, I feel just like drinking me some gasoline

Striking me a match

And blow my, blow my blue self up in steam

Hey

Play the blues, play the blues, play the blues

Alright

Alright

I think I'll move back down south

Where the water tastes just like cherry wine

I think I'll move back down south

People, where the water tastes to me like cherry wine

'Cause this Lake Michigan water

Tastes to me just like turpentine

Now let me have it, now
