Says the blues come down the alley, headed up to my back door
Says the blues come down the alley, headed up to my back door
Says I had the blues today mama, just like I never had before
Blues and trouble, have been my best friends
Blues and trouble, have been my best friends
I says when my blues leave me, my trouble starts again
Now some folks says blues is trouble,
Nothing but evil running across your mind
Some folks says blues is trouble,
Nothing but evil running across your mind
Lord when you set down thinking about
Someone, have treated you so nice and kind
Said you roll and you tumble, till it almost make you blind
Said you roll and you tumble, till it almost make you blind
When you get to thinking about your
Good gal, well you almost to lose your mind
I said then you start walking, your mind running every way
Lord then you start walking, your mind running every way
If you think about that old black woman, Lord that led you off astray
