Why I sing the blues
- Well, I've been around a long time
- I really have paid my dues
- When I first got the blues
- They brought me over on a ship
- Men were standing over me
- And a lot more with a whip
- And everybody wanna know
- Why I sing the blues
- Well, I've been around a long time
- Mm, I've really paid my dues
- I've laid in a ghetto flat
- Cold and numb
- I heard the rats tell the bedbugs
- To give the roaches some
- Everybody wanna know
- Why I'm singing the blues
- Yes, I've been around a long time
- People, I've paid my dues
- I stood in line
- Down at the County Hall
- I heard a man say, "We're gonna build
- Some new apartments for y'all"
- And everybody wanna know
- Yes, they wanna know
- Why I'm singing the blues
- Yes, I've been around a long, long time
- Yes, I've really, really paid my dues
- Now I'm gonna play Lucille.
- My kid's gonna grow up
- Gonna grow up to be a fool
- 'Cause they ain't got no more room
- No more room for him in school
- And everybody wanna know
- Everybody wanna know
- Why I'm singing the blues
- I say I've been around a long time
- Yes, I've really paid some dues
- Yeah, you know the company told me
- Guess you're born to lose
- Everybody around me, people
- It seems like everybody got the blues
- But I had 'em a long time
- I've really, really paid my dues
- You know I ain't ashamed of it, people
- I just love to sing my blues
- I walk through the cities, people
- On my bare feet
- I had a fill of catfish and chitterlings
- Up in Downbill Street
- You know I'm singing the blues
- Yes, I really
- I just have to sing my blues
- I've been around a long time
- People, I've really, really paid my dues
- Now Father Time is catching up with me
- Gone is my youth
- I look in the mirror everyday
- And let it tell me the truth
- I'm singing the blues
- Mm, I just have to sing the blues
- I've been around a long time
- Yes, yes, I've really paid some dues
- Yeah, they told me everything
- Would be better out in the country
- Everything was fine
- I caught me a bus uptown, baby
- And every people, all the people
- Got the same trouble as mine
- I got the blues, huh huh
- I say I've been around a long time
- I've really paid some dues
- One more time, fellows!
- Blind man on the corner
- Begging for a dime
- The rollers come and caught him
- And throw him in the jail for a crime
- I got the blues
- Mm, I'm singing my blues
- I've been around a long time
- Mm, I've really paid some dues
- Can we do just one more?
- Oh I thought I'd go down to the welfare
- To get myself some grits and stuff
- But a lady stand up and she said
- You haven't been around long enough
- That's why I got the blues
- Mm, the blues
- I say, I've been around a long time
- I've really, really paid my dues
- Fellows, tell them one more time.
- Ha, ha, ha. That's all right, fellows.
- Yeah!
