The Blues

When I was young, I played the blues,
I was so poor that I had no shoes,
We left my dad to stay alive
Mama taught me how to survive
Now I'm a man and I have thrived.

I got the blues
I got the blues
I got the blues
I've got the daddy ignores me
And I wish he would stop blues

All of my life, I've dealt with strife,
Now I'm looking for me a wife,
I love Carrie, not scared to say,
And I'll love her until my dying day.

I got The Blues,
I got The Blues,
I got The Blues
I got The Blues
I got the I miss Carrie
And I wish she were here blues.

I had a girl named Rita Lou,
With dark curly hair and eyes of deep blue,
And went she left me, I felt so blue,
But I'll always wonder why
I will love her until the day I die
Thinking of her, gives me the blues.

I have The Blues,
I have The Blues,
I have The Blues,
I've got the Rita left me
And she'll never come back to me blues
Now I got the Rita left me
And she'll never come back to me blues.
