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
Memphis Slim released Blues Is Troubles on Mon Jan 01 1990.
