Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, it was a thundering, thundering and lightening
You know the day this poor boy was born
I ain't never known nothing but your trouble
You know your trouble and your hate and scorn
You know my daddy, lord, he died in a train wreck
Yeah, my momma, she was born to lose
You know my middle name is natural born trouble
Yeah, and my last name, it is the blues
Oh yeah, yeah, my last name, it is the blues
[Verse 2]
I see the cold light comin' from the window
Yeah, of your warm forty-thousand dollar home
Oh yeah, but I don't need you people
Because the blues, they was meant to roam, oh yeah
Yeah, the blues, they was meant to roam
[Verse 3]
Well now, hunger is my companion
Cold and pain, they know my cry
Oh yeah, you people, you can pray for salvation
Yeah, but the blues don't never die, no no
Yeah, the blues don't never die
[Verse 4]
'Cause it was a thundering, thundering and lightening
You know the day this poor boy was born
I ain't never known nothing but your trouble
You know your trouble and your hate and scorn
You know my daddy, lord, he died in a train wreck
You know my momma, she died a fool
You know my middle name is natural born trouble, lord
And my last name, it is the blues, oh yeah
Yeah, my last name, it is the blues
