A Man and the Blues Lyrics
[Verse 1]

Play the blues, play the blues, play the blues
Alright
Alright
[Verse 3]

Where the water tastes just like cherry wine
I think I'll move back down south
People, where the water tastes to me like cherry wine
'Cause this Lake Michigan water
Tastes to me just like turpentine
Now let me have it, now
