Текст пісні
The first time I met the blues, you know
I was walking down through the woods
Yeah, it's the first time I met the blues, baby, yeah
You know, you know I was walking down through the woods
The blues got after me, Lord, and you know they didn't do me much good
You shoulda heard me begging, blues, blues, don't murder me
Yes, you shoulda heard me, you shoulda
Heard me, you shoulda heard me that morning
Saying, "Blues, don't murder me"
You know you whip me every morning, blues
And I'm just beginning to wonder what in the world do you want with me
I can't sleep at night and I can't nap through the day
I can't hold on much longer, blues
Living on just like this a-way
Lord, I wanna know, blues, blues, what you want with me
You got me every morning, blues
Ah, blues, why don't you let me be?
