Mmmmm mmmmm I's up this mornin'

ah, blues walkin' like a man

I's up this mornin'

ah, blues walkin' like a man

Worried blues

give me your right hand And the blues fell mama's child

tore me all upside down

Blues fell mam's child

and it tore me all upside down

travel on, poor Bob

just cain't turn you 'round

The blu-u-u-u-ues

is a low-down shakin' chill

spoken: Yes, preach 'em now. Mmmmm mmmmm

is a low-down shakin' chill

You ain't never had 'em, I

I hope you never will

Well, the blues

is a schin' old heart disease

spoken: Do it. now.

You gon' do it?

Tell me about it. Let the blues

is a low-down achin' heart disease

Like consumption

killing me by degrees

I can study rain

oh, ohm drive, oh, oh, drive my blues

I been studyin' the rain and

I'm 'on drive my blues away

Goin' to the 'stil'ry

stay out there all day
