[00:00.36]	True Blues
[00:01.32]	Ain't no new news
[00:02.82]	'bout who's been abused
[00:04.74]	For the blues is as old
[00:06.39]	As my stolen soul
[00:08.16]	I sang the blues when the missionaries came
[00:10.68]	Passing out Bibles in Jesus' name
[00:14.37]	I sang the blue in hull of the ship
[00:15.57]	Beneath the sting of the slavemaster's whip
[00:18.27]	I sang the blues when the ship anchored
[00:20.25]	The dock
[00:20.85]	My family being sold on a slave block
[00:23.73]	I sang the blues being torn from my first born
[00:27.30]	And hung my head and cried
[00:28.77]	When my wife took his life
[00:30.15]	And then committed suicide
[00:32.10]	I sang the blues on the slavemaster's
[00:34.50]	Plantation
[00:35.43]	Helping him build his tree nation
[00:37.62]	I sang the blues in the cotton field
[00:39.96]	Hustlin' to make the daily yield
[00:42.18]	I sang the blues when he forced my woman
[00:44.49]	To bed
[00:44.97]	Lord Knows I wish he was dead
[00:47.52]	I sang the blues on the run
[00:49.41]	Ducking the dogs and dodging the gun
[00:52.05]	I sang the blues hangin' from the tree
[00:54.39]	In a desperate attempt to break free
[00:56.61]	I sang the blue from sun up to down
[00:59.01]	Cursing the master when he wasn't around
[01:01.59]	I sang the blues in all his wars
[01:04.05]	Dying for someone uknown cause
[01:06.33]	I sang the blues in the high tone, low moan
[01:09.09]	Load groan, soft grunt, hard funk!
[01:12.03]	I sang the blues on land, sea and air
[01:14.55]	About who, when, why and where
[01:16.77]	I sang the blues in church on Sunday
[01:19.17]	Slavin' on Monday
[01:20.67]	Misused on Tuesday
[01:22.29]	Abused on Wednesday
[01:23.76]	Accused on Thursday
[01:25.02]	Fried alive on Friday
[01:26.76]	And died on Saturday
[01:27.93]	Sho'nuff singin the blues
[01:29.70]	I sang the blues in the summer, fall, winter
[01:31.98]	And spring
[01:32.76]	I know sho'nuff the blues is my thing
[01:35.04]	I sang the backwater blues
[01:36.39]	Rhythm and blues
[01:37.11]	Gospel blues
[01:37.92]	St. Louis blues
[01:39.18]	Crosstown blues
[01:40.26]	Chicago blues
[01:41.49]	Mississipi Goddam blues
[01:43.50]	The Watts blues
[01:44.31]	Harlem blues
[01:45.72]	Hough blues
[01:45.93]	Gutbucket blues
[01:46.71]	Funky junkie blues
[01:47.97]	I sang the up north cigarette cough blues
[01:50.31]	The down south strung out the side of my
[01:52.32]	Mouth blues
[01:53.31]	I sang the blues black
[01:54.66]	I sang the blues blacker
[01:56.13]	I sang the blues blackest
[01:57.57]	I sang about my sho'nuff blue blackeness..
