Mmmmm mmmmm I's up this mornin' 

ah, blues walkin' like a man

I's up this mornin' 

ah, blues walkin' like a man

Worried blues 

give me your right hand



And the blues fell mama's child 

tore me all upside down

Blues fell mam's child 

and it tore me all upside down

travel on, poor Bob 

just cain't turn you 'round

The blu-u-u-u-ues 

is a low-down shakin' chill

spoken: Yes, preach 'em now.





Mmmmm mmmmm 

is a low-down shakin' chill

You ain't never had 'em, I 

I hope you never will

Well, the blues 

is a achin' old heart disease

spoken: Do it. now. 

You gon' do it?

Tell me about it.





Let the blues 

is a low-down achin' heart disease

Like consumption 

killing me by degrees

I can study rain 

oh, ohm drive, oh, oh, drive my blues

I been studyin' the rain and 

I'm 'on drive my blues away

Goin' to the 'stil'ry 

stay out there all day
