The Blues Overtook Me

The blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know, the blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know, fast women and whisky
Made this southern boy wild

When I was a kid early on my own
I took the highway to be on my own
When the Blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know, fast women and whisky
Made this lonesome boy wild

It's dark and cloudy, I believe it's gonna rain
Makes me wanna hear my baby call my name
Well, the blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know, fast women and whisky
Made this poor boy wild

When you get in trouble every bad is down on you
The blues will overtake you and pull you all through
Well, the blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know, fast women and whisky
Made this lonesome boy wild

Layin' down my suitcase, pack up my trunk
I ain't been drinkin' since the blues made me drunk
The Blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know fast women and whisky
Made this poor boy wild

You might run and try to escape
But the blues will overtake you on a rainy day
The Blues overtook me
When I was a little child
You know fast women and whisky
Made this southern boy wild
