Lonnie Johnson Devil's Got The Blues
Good morning blues : where have you been so long
I just stopped by to leave you enough of worries : to
last you while I'm gone
My brains is cloudy : my soul is upside down
When I get that lowdown feeling : I know the blues must
be somewhere close around
The blues is like the devil : it comes on you like a
spell
Blues will leave your heart full of trouble : and your
poor mind full of hell
Some people say that's no blues : but that story's old
and stale
The blues will drive you to drink and murder : and spend
the rest of your life in jail
The blues and the devil : is your closest friend
The blues will leave you with murder in your mind :
that's when the devil out of hell steps in
