|
Yeah, you're a down and dirty blues man |
|
Look-a-here |
|
You play blues on blue guitar |
|
According to the news man |
|
As far as blues goes you a star |
|
I'll admit you gettin' down there |
|
But I'm down much deeper then you are |
|
Yeah, you sing those songs of sorrow |
|
But to me you just don't sound real |
|
You say you're down enough to borrow |
|
I must be down enough to steal |
|
Now the blues ain't what you're singin' |
|
The blues is what |
|
I feelYou tell me your love light is dimmin' |
|
And how your old lady cheats |
|
You go backstage with all the women |
|
While I go back out on the street |
|
Well, you know that you're a winnner |
|
And you tell me you were born to lose |
|
But please, please, please, don't tell me about the blues |
|
You tell it like you're barefoot |
|
And you're wearin' those hondred dollar shoes |
|
Yeah, you can shuck and jive me all you wanna |
|
But please, please don't tell me about the blues |
|
Yeah, you tell me you a poor man |
|
While you flashin' those ruby rings |
|
But on a million dollar tour |
|
Man, you can flash more than a goddamn thing |
|
But it's me who's payin' my dues |
|
So please, man, don't tell me about the blues |
