Mh! Well all right! (solo) The blues can come to you In any shape or form It can come to you in the shape of a woman Just like the one that left me alone Now I got the blues And I'm not ashamed to say I been tryin' to shake them Each and every day I got the blues Cause my woman has left Well she took all of my money The little girl left with someone else I gotta find her...
