Took Away the Drum

Took away the drum

That's how the blues it come

Took away the drum

Yes, they did

That's how the blues it come

Ain't no blues in South America

Ain't no blues in the Caribbean Sea

Only blues in America

Took away the drum from me

Took away the drum

That's how the blues it come

Took away the drum

Yes, they did

That's how the blues it come

Take a man from his nation

Put him in total isolation

Only thing to rescue you

Is the blues, is the blues

Took away the drum

That's how the blues it come

Took away the drum

Yes, they did

That's how the blues it come

That's how the blues it come

That's how the blues it come

That's how the blues it come

Took away the drum

Took away the drum

Took away the drum

Took away the drum

That's how the blues it come

That's how the blues it come
