Memphis Slim — Blues Is Troubles

Oh, hello I'm Memphis Slim They say blues Goes color-only, but I disagree I think everybody have the blues Crew shares And I was president Everybody's got the blues Because blues is troubles Blues is trouble I went to Mexico and a guy with a [?] under a big hat Up against a big stone And he was singing a-la-bla-bla-bla-bla But the guy had the blues I could see it in his eyes That's what I like about the blues No discrimination Everybody's got the blues Blues meets everybody As my good friеnd Willie Dixon said Some peoplе think they got religion They got the blues But blues is not all so sad And not every time I know a lot of you disagree with me A happy blue For instance Suppose your rent is due We have one 25 cents left And you played a number And your number come out You got 250 dollars, maybe 125 Then you're gonna sing the happy blues You feel good You feel like jumpin' and shoutin' Because you can pay your rent And your children can eat You feel good You still have to sing Like my daddy always said I never forget [?] [Outro] The sun gonna shine In my back door one day The sun gonna shine You know In my back door, one day And the wind gonna rise And gonna blow my blues away
