Blues come by night baby and blues come by day

Have to watch yourself,  not get taken away, down

To the 12 bars waitin for you in the drinkin’ stew.

 

Washed up on the morning

Drinking again at noon

Blues wait round the corner

Seize your soul so soon.

 

No matter what you do or think

The blues are all the same

The lonely lies, and the cryin' shame.

 

Blues hit hard, blues aint never goan away,

Blues slink into you, your soul betrayed,

Left all alone, at the end of the day.

 

Worse than any sentence, blues is for life

Go see the doctor, go talk to your psych,

Blues in the soul and the blues gotta knife.
