Lyrics
(Please mister won't you play the blues)
(Cause I feel I'm gonna lose)
She said "one day you will learn"
"And maybe your life will take a turn"
"Until then you'll fool no one"
I said "please just say the word"
"And I'll move somewhere you've never heard"
"Buckle down on my own"
I said "please mister won't you play the blues"
"Please mister won't you play the blues"
"'Cause I feel I'm gonna lose"
(I need someone to save me)
(When my head and heart just blames me)
(The bottom of the oceans)
(Where I find my soul sinking)
She said "all through these years"
"You've had a lot to pick on," through her tears
"And I'm the only one to blame"
Now when there's no one left to burn
Your mind's all made up in that urn
Tell me who's the one to blame
Tell me please mister won't you play the blues
Please mister won't you play the blues
'Cause I feel I'm born to lose
What's a man to do
When he does the things he don't mean to do
Curl up with his pride
Kill the shame inside
(I need someone to save me)
(When my head and heart just blames me)
Please mister won't you sing some blues
Please mister won't you play the blues
'Cause I've nothing left to lose
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
