Freddie King’s iteration of Don Nix’s slow-grinding, gospel-like “Same Old Blues” presents a minor-keyed, blues-groove featuring a full choir on backing vocals.
[Verse 1]
Morning rain keeps on falling
Like the tears that fall from my eyes
As I sit in my room, staring out at the gloom
It's the rain, it's the same old blues
[Verse 2]
I can't help, I can't help but thinkin'
When the sun used to shine in my back door
Now the sun has turned to rain, all my laughter has turned to pain
Yes, it's the pain of the same old blues
[Verse 3]
Sunshine, sunshine is all you see now
But it all, it all looks like clouds to me
But as I sit in my room, staring out at the gloom
It's the rain, it's the same old blues, yeah, now
[Outro]
Yes, it's the rain, it's the same old blues
Yes, it's the rain, it's the same old blues
